How to make Kali Mirch Aloo Bhindi Sabzi - Aloo Bhindi Pepper Fry Recipe
To begin making Kali Mirch Aloo Bhindi recipe, add the potatoes with 1 cup water in a pressure cooker and cook for 3 to 4 whistles. Allow the pressure in the cooker to release naturally.
Once the potatoes are cooled down, peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Keep it aside.
Make a fine powder of cumin seeds and peppercorns using a mixer grinder. Keep aside.
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and allow it to crackle.
Add the finely chopped onion and saute until it turns soft and translucent - about a minute.
Once the onions are softened, add bhindi, sprinkle some salt and saute until the sliminess goes away. Keep the bhindi slightly covered, this will help the bhindi cook faster with the steam.
At the same time, since the lid is slightly ajar, it will help the steam escape and prevent sliminess.
Once the bhindi is cooked, add the boiled potatoes, turmeric powder and powdered black peppercorns and cumin powder and saute till the Kali Mirch Aloo Bhindi Sabzi turns a bit crispy. This would take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Check the salt and adjust accordingly.
Once the Aloo Bhindi turns a bit crispy and gets well coated with the cumin-pepper powder turn off the heat and serve hot.

"I am an experimental cook by chance!" Yeah! Cooking to me has always been a form of stress buster. What started as a stress busting exercise post work, has now evolved to a much full time activity. I try to improvise the traditional recipes with easy to available ingredients at home. Thus, you will come across a lot of fusion in my cooking style. I try to include seasonal organic produce as much as possible in my cooking.
