Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra (bhindi)
- 1 tablespoon mustard oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon amchur (dried mango) powder
- 1 medium onion, finely sliced
- 2 small green chilies, slit
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra (bhindi) thoroughly under running water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel and leave them for a few minutes to ensure they are completely dry.
Step 2
Cut off the head and tail of each okra, then slice them into 1-inch pieces.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of mustard oil in a non-stick or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Allow the oil to become hot before adding spices.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the hot oil. Let them splutter for a few seconds.
Step 5
Add 1 medium onion, finely sliced, and 2 small green chilies, slit lengthwise. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 6
Add the sliced okra to the pan. Sauté on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the okra turns tender yet crisp, approximately 10 minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 0.75 teaspoon of salt over the okra. Mix well to coat the spices evenly.
Step 8
Continue to cook on low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Ensure the okra remains dry and not slimy.
Step 9
Finally, add 0.5 teaspoon of amchur powder for a tangy flavor and stir it through the okra mixture.
Step 10
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Step 11
Serve hot with roti or steamed rice.
