Whoever said size does not matter, needs to rethink. You cannot make Bhindi Posto(Okra with Khus-Khus) with big lady's fingers. They have to be small. What did you think I was talking about ?!
When the ex-French Prez married Bruni, taller than him even in her flats, there were speculations & psychoanalysis about Sarkozy's move. While some put it to a clear case of romance on the rebound, the more probing reports pointed to the Prez's sensitivity about his own height and marrying the Italian singer to flaunt a glamorous trophy wife. All this of course, to show ex-wife that if she could move on, so could he. Whatever be the real motive behind the act, the long & the short of the matter is that the couple has a daughter together, making Nicolas the first ever French Prez to have a child while in office.


This is how we go about it.
Ingredients:[serves 2-3]
1. 250 gms small bhindi - head & tail cut
2. 1tbsp posto
3. 1- 1 1/2tsp mustard seeds(sarson/rai)
4. 1/4 tsp turmeric

6. 1 tbsp mustard oil(preferably)
7. Salt to taste
Method:
1. Soak mustard & posto- in enough water to immerse the ingredients- for 10-15 mins.
2. Heat oil in a flat-bottomed pan, sprinkle turmeric & salt, lay out the bhindis & allow frying on medium heat.


3. As the bhindis fry, grind the sarson, posto & green chillies to a smooth paste.


4. When the bhindis are fully cooked, add the posto paste, mix well and let water dry.
Remove from flame and let the dish sit for a while.
Served with plain rice & peeli daal, Bhindi Posto makes you turn misty-eyed in bliss....
