Ingredients

• 250 grams okra
• 300 grams potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 2 medium tomato
• 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 250 ml water
• 2 tablespoons coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the okra thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel, then slice them into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and chop them into small cubes, approximately 1 inch each. Similarly, finely chop the onion and tomatoes. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is heated, add cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to crackle.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the ginger garlic paste and continue to sauté for about 2 minutes, allowing the raw aroma to dissipate.

Step 7

Add the chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the spices blend well.

Step 8

Add the potato cubes and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and allow the potatoes to cook for about 10 minutes or until they become tender.

Step 10

Add the sliced okra to the pan, mix gently, and cook uncovered for another 10 minutes or until the okra is cooked and tender.

Step 11

Sprinkle garam masala over the curry and give it a final stir.

Step 12

Remove from heat and garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.

Step 13

Serve hot with steamed rice or flatbread.
