Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh Okra (Bhindi)
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 1 finely chopped Green Chili
• 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
• 0.75 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Coriander Leaves
• 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the bhindi thoroughly under running water. Pat dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. Trim the ends and cut the bhindi into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and green chili to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the grated ginger and sauté for another minute until its raw aroma fades.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped tomato, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the mixture until the tomato softens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chopped bhindi to the pan. Mix well to coat the bhindi with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low-medium, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Ensure the bhindi is cooked but retains a slight crunch.

Step 9

Once cooked, turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. Mix well.

Step 10

Garnish the bhindi sabji with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with roti, rice, or any flatbread of your choice.
