Notes
some additional tips
Wash bhindi thoroughly and dry it completely before cutting, otherwise the vegetable will become sticky.
While boiling tomatoes, do not add too much water, keep only as much water as needed so that the gravy does not become thin. Do not throw away the boiled tomato water; adding the same water to the curry gives better taste and colour.
Always fry the gram flour on low flame and keep stirring continuously, otherwise it may smell raw or burnt.
While frying gram flour, if a little oil starts appearing separately, then understand that it has been roasted properly.
After adding the ladyfinger and beans, do not stir too much, this may cause the ladyfinger to break and become sticky.
While adding spices, keep the flame low so that red chilli and turmeric do not burn. If the gravy seems too sour then the taste can be balanced by adding some sugar or jaggery.
While cooking vegetables, cover them and cook on medium flame, this will cook the vegetables properly and the flavor will penetrate deep inside.
Lastly, adding coriander and letting it simmer for 2 minutes enhances both the aroma and taste of the curry.
