Orka

Most of us love Orka but I like to make it for my husband since its his favorite veggie.I prepare it in less of oil and also its very simple to make in case you have very little time.


Ingredients:
2 table spoon canola oil
1 small onion
4 cups orka sliced from middle
.5 tea spoon cumin seeds
1 tea spoon corriander powder
1 tea spoon garam masala
a pinch of sugar
.5 tea spoon red chilly powder
.5 turmeric podwer
salt to taste

Preparation:
1.) Wash the orca and dry it completely. Make sure there is no water remaining by cleaning it using a clean cloth. Slice the orca from the middle and cut in into half.
2.) Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seed to it. When the seeds start to popp up add the onions to it. When the onions are light brown add the orka and lower the flame. Add sugar,1 spoon of corriander powder and a pinch of salt and cover the pan with a lid.
3.) After 10 -12 minutes check if the orka is cooked and add the remaining spices(1 tea spoon corriander powder, 1.5 tea spoon garam masala, .5 tea spoon red chilly powder,.5 turmeric podwer, salt). Keep it on high flame for 3-4 minutes. check to see it the orka is cooked.
4.)Sprinkle corriande leaves for garnishing


Notes:
Add pinch of sugar to get the green colour of the orka as it is. A point told by a friend who is a good cook .
