Ladies finger crispies!!

Ingredients:
Ladies finger : 1 kg.
Onion : 2 large. (finley sliced)
Besan : 2 -4 tbsp
Coriander pdr : 2 tbsp
Turmeric pdr : 1 tsp
Chilli prd : 1 tbsp
Garam Masala : 3 tbsp
Dry jeera prd : 2 tbsp

Method:
Slice the ladies fingers very thinly in a diagonal direction and keep aside. In a large vessel, apread the sliced ladies fingers and add all the masala powders and the salt. then add the besan, and mix it with your hands. Lightly toss it so that all the masala and the besan coats the bhindi. keep aside for 15 mins.
In a pan add the oil, add finley sliced onions and fry. add salt, and little chilli prd. when the onions are sufficiently browned, add the ladies fingers. fry and cook over low flame, until done.
Note: if your not concerned about fried items, then you can do deep fry also. in that case leave out the onions.
Serve with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice and garnish with corriander leaves. great combo for rotis or even rice and dal.

so do try it out and let me know ur opinions!!!! happy eating!!!
Ingredients:
Raw (Green) Tomato - 2 (cut into big pieces)
Green chillies - 5-6 ( depending on how hot it is)
Onion - 2 (Medium- cut into big pieces)
Garlic - 5 to 6 cloves.
Fresh corriander leaves (cilantro) - a large handful ( chopped)
Fresh Curry leaves - a large handful ( chopped)
Salt and 1 tsp of sugar.
Oil - a few teaspoons (any vegetable oil or even olive oil is ok.)

Method:
In a pan add a few teaspoons of oil, and fry the tomatoes,onions and green chillies. When they are almost done add the garlic. Fry for another minute and switch off the stove. Once the above ingredients are cooled, add the rest of the ingredients along with the fried stuff in a food processor and grind to paste.
In a pan add some more oil and add the ground paste and fry for a few minutes. when done, let it cool and put in jar or box and store.
Tip: Frying the chutney after its ground helps in 2 ways. One it reduces the spicyness and it preserves the chutney for a long time.
