step 3

• STEP 3.3 turn down the heat to medium,cover the pan to allow the bhindi to cook by placing the ladle in the pan and then putting the lid over that. This way the pan is not fully covered and the bhindi can cook in the steam without getting soggy as the steam and moisture will escape from the open rim of the pan. Stir intermittently and lower the heat to simmer and continue cooking semi covered till bhindi is cooked soft. In total it will take upto 15-20 minutes to cook after adding the masala. Once bhindi is cooked through turn of the gas.
