Ingredients

• 500 grams Lean lamb, boneless, cut into cubes
• 250 grams Okra (bhindi), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 2 medium Tomato, chopped
• 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the lamb from the pot and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes break down and the spices are well combined, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the low-sodium chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook on low heat for 30 minutes, or until the lamb is tender.

Step 6

While the lamb is cooking, lightly stir-fry the okra in a separate non-stick pan for about 5 minutes, until slightly tender. This step helps to reduce the sliminess of the okra.

Step 7

Once the lamb is tender, add the pre-cooked okra to the pot. Season with salt and garam masala. Stir gently to combine everything.

Step 8

Cover and cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Heart-Healthy Bhindi Gosht with whole grain naan or brown rice.
