Ingredients

• 3 medium Potatoes
• 250 grams Okra (Bindi)
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Tomato
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 Green chilies
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes and peel them. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and soak them in water to prevent discoloration.

Step 2

Rinse the okra thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Cut off the ends and slice the okra into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Slice the onion thinly, chop the tomato, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Slit the green chilies vertically and keep them aside.

Step 5

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 8

Drain the potato cubes and add them to the pan. Mix well, cover with a lid, and let them cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 9

Add the sliced okra, green chilies, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt.

Step 10

Mix everything thoroughly, cover the pan, and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and okra are cooked through and slightly crispy.

Step 11

Add the chopped tomato and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes are softened and well incorporated into the dish.

Step 12

Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot as a side dish with rice or Indian bread.
