Spicy Stuffed Okra (Bhindi)

Today my recipe is Stuffed okra (Bhindi) with Spicy powders. Actually I got this recipe from Food Food TV Channel. Stuffed Okra was very tasty to eat with steamed rice. Only tender okra should be used for this dish. The dish requires more time to fry them on a very low flame. In micro wave oven stuffed Okra is very easy and quick to make with less oil. First time I tried it on gas stove, but this time I made it in oven. I hope every one likes it..........Happy cooking............
