Ladys finger with Onion / Onion Bhindi

This is a very easy recipe with less ingredients, but takes some 15 - 20 minutes to cook. Time is the only constraint. Otherwise this goes well along with roti and rice. Plenty of onion with Lady's finger's moisture would be just too good dry roti's or plain rice.

Ingredients:

1. Lady's finger - 200 gm
2. Large Onion - 2 sliced
3. Green chilies - finely chopped as needed
4. Cumin seeds - 1/2 tb spn coarsely crushed or whole
5. Black pepper powder or crushed pepper - 1/4 tb spn
6. Asafoetida - 1/2 tb spn
7. Salt as needed
8. Oil - 2 tbl spn

Preparation:

1. Wash and cut lady's finger in about 1 inch long
2. Heat oil in a pan, add cumin & asafoetida saute for few seconds.
3. Add Onion and Chili, saute till onion turns translucent then add pepper.
4. Finally add lady's finger and salt, saute lightly. Sprinkle little water cover and cook in low flame until the vegetable is cooked fully.
5. Stir occasionally and sprinkle water if needed, to prevent from sticking. Do not add too much water at once as this spoils the texture.
6. Serve hot with rice or roti.
