• In a bowl, mix rice, toor dal, adrak, green chillies, hara dhania, jeera, grated coconut and the MTR Haldi/Turmeric Powder. Mix well.
• Add curd to this and grind into smooth mixture.
• Next, heat some oil in a kadhai. Add sarson, kadi patta and dry red chillies. Sauté for a minute.
• Now, add the chopped tomato. Fry for 2 mins.
• Then, add bhindi and fry it for 3 to 4 mins and let it cook.
• Once the bhindi is cooked, add the curd mixture and salt as required. Cook it on a low flame.
• Take the kadhai off the stove before the curry reaches a boiling point. This prevents the yogurt from curdling.
• Serve it with rice, spicy veggies and achaar.
