Hi
My name is Anita. Here's a recipe for preparing Bhindi Raitha. It is a very famous South Indian accompaniment for Dosa, Idli. Kids will love Okra this way. I got this recipe from my grandmother.
Ingredients:
• 2 Cups thinly sliced okra (needs to be dried for atleast a couple of hours). If using frozen okra, thaw and dry so as to reduce the stickiness.
• • 1 tsp Mustard seeds
• A pinch of asafoetida
• Curry leaves
• 1/2 Cup oil
• 2 finely chopped Green chilies
• 2 Cups unsweetened plain yogurt, lightly beaten - if there is a slight sour taste it adds more flavor to the raitha.
• Salt
Preparation
1. Heat 1/2 cup oil in a frying pan to more than medium heat
2. Fry the okra slices to a light brown colour. Adjust heat so as to not burn the okra.
3. After the okra is taken out of the oil immediately dab it with a kitchen paper towel to remove the excess oil.
4. Fry okra in small batches so as to evenly fry them.
5. Allow to cool for a 3-5 minutes
6. Meanwhile mix Green chillies and 2 curry leaves with the yogurt (can use cilantro for extra taste).
7. Add the fried okra to the yogurt and salt to taste. Mix delicately so as to not lose the crunchiness of the fried okra/
8. Temper few mustard seeds and ther remaining Curry leaves in 1 tbsp oil and when the seeds start crackling, add a pinch of Asafoetida
9. Mix the tempered mustard seeds to the yogurt.
10. Garnish with fresh Curry leaves or cilantro
11. Let the raitha set down for 5 mins before serving
Hi Hetal and Anuja...
I followed the curd video but my curd is very watery and not setting even after taking out from fridge.
What could be wrong ??
I am boiled the milk( Cow milk) in Indian LG Microwave oven and after it boils it forms a think layer of cream not very thick..
then i waited for sometime and added the sample of one spoon purchased from store..and kept in pre-heated oven of 100 deg cel as it is indian oven.....
then took out after 3 hrs and kept in fridge checked after 1 hr or more but it has not settled down....
help me to make a curd the way you have shown in ur video....which can be soft and not very watery,,

Hii all,

serves:2
2 cups milk
1/4 cup Whole Rajagro
sugar to taste
pinch of cardamom powder
1 tblsp of sliced cashews and almonds
How to-
1 Take a medium pan and place on heat and wait till its nice and hot ..Now put 1/4 tblsp of rajagro in hot pan and with a thick cotton cloth press rajaro slowly at a time and rajaro will pop up ,it will turn out white. Then remove from the pan immediately otherwise it will burn ..(that the reason why we put very little amount of rajagro in the pan.)
2 On the other hand take other nonstick pan and mix milk and sugar and stir at a time.
3 After completing the whole batch of rajagro,mix it with the milk and sugar mixture and bring it to nice boil till it gets thicken .(consistency is upto u)
