ABOUT Tomatoes Bhendi Masala ( Spicy Tomatoes Lady's fingers ) RECIPE

My food love comes from my mom and this is one of my favorite dishes that she prepared. This recipe has been passed from my mom to me , after I got married. I prepare the okra subzi in this way only and my hubby completely drools over it. This recipe involves parallel cooking. The okra is cooked in a wok or pan while the tomato masala is prepared in a separate pan. When the okra is cooked and crispy, the masala is added into it. Stir and mix and serve it hot as a side dish with rice or enjoy with any flat bread.
