3. Stuff this wet-dry mixture into each slit lady's finger and leave for 5 mins. Add kasuri methi at this stage or later. Ensure the spice mixture is not runny
In a non stick pan / kadai, heat oil and splutter the tempering - cumin, mustard seeds and curry leaves.
If you are left with any leftover masala (from the stuffing mixture), add to the sabji now and mix well.
4. Add the stuffed bhindis and lightly toss them . Cook them uncovered on medium-low flame for 10 mins (keep tossing them from time to time to cook on all sides).
5. Once the bhindis look slightly seared and brown, add jaggery, kasuri methi and coriander leaves and toss them again, taking care not to break them as they would be tender.
6. Garnish with grated coconut and nylon sev and serve hot with Rotis and Dal ! yumm !
