• Bhindi Raitha (Okra)

  • From: anitasn82
  • Description:

    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,,

    Monica

• Cardamon Blk or Cardamon Green

  • From: TooLoose_LeTrek
  • Description:

    I purchased a cookbook at a local Indian store I frequent by a woman whom I am told is very popular as a cooking authority in India, Tarla Dalal.  One recipe calls three cardamons.  The recipe is a tendli bhaat, a Maharashtian recipe.  Would this be black or green cardamon?  Shame on me...I could swear that I saw a SMTC video that discussed this (cardamon was an ingredient) but my memory has evaporated. 

    Where am I?  Who are all you people anyway?
