Grind the poppy seeds with ginger, green chillies and make a smooth paste.

Heat oil in a pan /kadai,

Throw some panchphoron for tempering,

As they splutter and sizzle fry the bhindis along with salt and turmeric for 2 minutes,

Now you can add the cubed potatoes and cook for another 2 -3 minutes,

Now add little water to boil the veggies. (Please don’t put the paste, before pouring water, otherwise you won’t get the taste of actually it should be)

After boiling the veggies, add the poppy seeds paste, mix well and cook until the potatoes and ladies finger gets well mixed with the poppy seeds paste.
