Bhindi Murgh (Okra Chicken) Recipe

This a type of Bhuna Chicken and fresh okra. Chose okra that is still tender and not woody.

The okra is fried and set aside to keep its form and almost eliminate the slimy fluid. You can select whole cut up chicken or any other parts such as chicken breast. I have elected to use chicken thighs. There is a lot of garlic.

I have used total ½ cup of Ghee, but divided in 3 different steps.
