Age Old Recipe To Make Your Okara Delicious

(Edited)

Hi Hivers!

Here I'm, delving into an old recipe to make okara or lady finger.

As child I use to watch MasterChef a lot, I got some insight and foresight about cooking and comprehended it all.

And with the generosity and teaching of my grandmother and mother, I skilled cooking.

The humorous part is, I use to keep experimenting with food after watching MasterChef. I have a vivid memorie of this incident where I was about to burn the whole house down. I left the oil on pan with flame on and I was about to make okara but something caught my attention and I left kitchen and when I returned, there was fire on oil.

And guys,I was was trying to turn it down with water, yup. For sure this deserve, 'two minute silence'.

After couple of unsuccessful attempts I called my grandmother for help and she covered the pan with lid and that's it.

For the record, I'm a good cook now and it was my tempestuous adventure with food as a child.

Now the only thing I'm charmed by is food and that too - home cooked.
So here I'm helping myself and you too.

Okara is packed full of nutrients and vitamin C which helps to support healthy immune system.

To alleviate the slippery get in it we have to deep fry it.

As the onions turn golden brown we have to add ginder garlic paste to it.

Mix it all well and let it cook for 10 minutes.
It's almost done.

You can have it with daal- chawal or with chapati.

Chapati is sort of breath made with wheat flour. I love it with chapati so I also prepared them for myself.

This is how it turned out-

I have taken all these pictures with my camera ZV-E10 and edited them with Adobe Lightroom.

Thanks for passing by.
See you soon.
