Ingredients

• 300 grams okra
• 2 medium-sized potatoes
• 1 large onion
• 2 medium-sized tomatoes
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 medium green chili
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the okra thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry using a kitchen towel to remove any moisture.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the okra and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Keep them submerged in water to prevent oxidation.

Step 4

Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. Slit the green chili lengthwise.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic, ginger, and green chili to the pan, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Introduce the diced tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir the spices into the mixture and cook for an additional minute.

Step 10

Drain the potatoes and add them to the pan. Mix well to coat them with the spices.

Step 11

Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are halfway cooked.

Step 12

Add the okra and stir gently. Cover the pan again and cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra and potatoes are completely cooked.

Step 13

Once the vegetables are tender, sprinkle garam masala over the curry and mix.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 15

Serve hot with rice, roti, or naan.
