Stuffed Bhindi Recipe With Peanuts

Step 1: To begin making the Stuffed Bhindi With Peanuts Recipe, in a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the filling including roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, coriander powder, garam masala powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, amchur, gram flour, sugar, salt, oil and keep aside

Step 2: Wash the bhindi and dry them completely with a clean kitchen towel

Step 3: Slit them lengthwise in such a way that the ends don’t separate and don’t become two halves

Step 4: Fill a small amount of the filling mixture into the slit portion of the bhindi

Step 5: Once filled close the sides by bring them together

Step 6: You could leave them as whole filled fingers or cut the filled fingers into half from the center

Step 11: In the same pan or another pan, heat some more oil and gently stir in the filled bhindi

Step 12: Turn the heat to low and simmer with the pan covered for about two minutes

Step 13: After about a couple of minutes, uncover the pan; give a gentle stir to the lady fingers turning them around and allowing them to cook in the open until they become tender
