Fried Bhindi (Ladyfinger / Okra)

For this recipe one can use fresh okra or chopped frozen okra that is available in some Asian stores. I use the latter version (500 gms pack) as I am lazy.If like me you are using frozen okra, its important that you don't thaw it or else it will become watery.

Tastes great with Tava Roti, Tandoori Roti and Naan Bread and also goes well with No Egg Wheat Gluten Bread.
