Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh bhindi (okra)
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 finely chopped Green chilies
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the bhindi thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry completely as any moisture will make them slimy while cooking.
Step 2
Trim both ends of the bhindi and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.
Step 5
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
Step 6
Stir in the green chilies and sauté for another minute.
Step 7
Add the chopped bhindi to the pan and mix well ensuring that the bhindi is coated with the oil and onions.
Step 8
Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the bhindi. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Step 9
Cover the pan with a lid and cook the bhindi on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until the bhindi is tender and cooked.
Step 10
Once the bhindi is cooked, turn off the heat and add lime juice. Mix well to ensure the lime juice is evenly distributed.
Step 11
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and stir gently.
Step 12
Serve hot as a side dish with chapati or rice.
