Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh okra (bhindi)
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Tomato
- 2 small Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or ghee
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra well and pat it dry with a kitchen towel. Ensure there is no moisture on the okra to prevent it from becoming slimy during cooking.
Step 2
Trim the ends of the okra and slice them into 1/2 inch pieces.
Step 3
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Dice the tomato. Slit the green chilies lengthwise.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil or ghee in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the sliced onions and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until onions are soft and translucent.
Step 7
Add the diced tomato and continue to sauté until the tomato turns soft.
Step 8
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion-tomato mixture.
Step 9
Increase the heat to high and add the sliced okra. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes to ensure the okra is well coated with the spices.
Step 10
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan with a lid, and let cook for about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, but avoid stirring too much to keep the okra from breaking.
Step 11
Once the okra is tender, add garam masala and salt. Mix gently.
Step 12
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 13
Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of low carb bread or cauliflower rice.
