Then add the Chopped Bhindi (ladies finger) and Fry for 4-5 minutes. Now add Salt by sprinkling on all peices. Dont put at one place, later it wont mix properly. After sprinkling the salt, saut for a while and close the pan with a lid. Leave it for 5-6 minutes or upto 10 minutes. Just ensure that it should not burn.

Now in a mixer take the boiled and cooled Tomatos, Pepper powder, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder, Ginger Paste and Grind to a paste. Add this paste to the Bhindis.  Mix well. You can add little water if required at this stage. Let it cook on low flame for few minutes. Once the mixture starts boiling you can switch off the heat.

Now the Bhindi Pyaza is ready to serve with Hot Indian Rotis. It goes well with Chapati, Roti, Naan and also rice. You can have it as a side dish with curd rice. It will be yummy.
