Steps

1To begin making Paneer Stuffed Bhindi Masala Recipe wash okra, pat them with a dry cloth and cut off the stems. Make a vertical cut in okra, making sure they don’t become two separate halves.
2To prepare the paneer stuffing, combine all the ingredients for the stuffing in a mixing bowl.
3Fill 1/2 teaspoon of mixture in each okra through the slits. Once all the okras are stuffed with the mixture, keep them aside.
4Heat oil in a deep pan and add cumin seeds along with the asafoetida. Once it crackles, add chopped onion, ginger, garlic and saute until the onions are tender.
5Add the stuffed okra and saute. Cover and cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Once the bhindi is nearly cooked add the tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes on medium heat.
6Stir in the remaining paneer (if extra) stuffing at this point of time to add more flavors.
7Cover the pan and simmer the Paneer Stuffed Bhindi Masala over medium heat until the bhindi is soft and cooked.
