by - 8:15 PM

Bhindis are known as okras/gumbo/lady fingers etc.  It has many health benefits.  It is said that it is very good for diabetic patients, helpful in ease constipation,  good for eyes, helpful in weight loss, and good for immune system.  Seeing its numerous health benefits, yesterday tried its parantha.  Here I used the stale one.  Making its parantha is very easy.  Here below comes the whole process how I made it:

 Ingredients
15 small sized stale okras
1 inch ginger
1 small sized onion
2 green chilies
handful of cilantro
1.5 cups of wheat flour
1/2 cup of basen
salt to taste
1/2 tsp of garam masala
1/2 tsp of coriander powder
1/2 tsp of ajvain seeds
1 tsp of lime juice
oil 
Method
1.  For making paranthas, take stale okras/bhindis/ladyfingers/gumbo.  Stale bhindis are perfect for it as the fresh ones are lacy, slimy or sticky in nature..  
2.  Wash and dry with cloth.

3. Slit the okras so that worms can be seen easily.  Now take in chopper zar with onion, ginger and green chilies.  Chop it very finely.  Alternatively it can be chopped in small zar of blender on pulse for 5 to 6 times.
4.  Now take wheat flour and basen.  Add salt, garam masala, coriander powder, ajvain seeds and lime juice.  Mix it well.
5.  Next add finely chopped cilantro and finely chopped okras which we have chopped in chopped all along with onion, green chilies and ginger.
6.  Take a smooth dough with water.  
6.  Keep it aside for few minutes.  Now dough is ready.
8. Heat a tawa or pan.  Make small balls/pedas from the dough.  
9. Roll it in round shape on wooden surface/chakla with belan/rolling pin with the help of dry flour.
10. Next place the rolled paratha/roti on the heated tawa.  When it seem dry, turn it to the other size.
11. Apply oil to both sides and make it crisp while pressing with spatuls/turner/palta on medium heat.
12.  Crisp okra prantha is ready to serve.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!
