Bhindi masala/Indian Okra with peanuts

Okra has a very special place in the Asian cuisine. Every Asian country has their version of cooking okra but ofcourse India has way too many of them. The one here is a very quick spiced stir fry version which goes really well with rotis or parathas or even with daal and rice.

There are other versions of making Okra like in a mustard flavoured gravy or yoghurt flavored gravy to name few of them. But this recipe uses no onion or garlic thus qualifying for a Sattvik diet (Yogi Meal). The addition of peanuts make it crunchy and brings an interesting texture.
