Ingredients
  

  • 500 gms bhindi/okra
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds/jeera
  • 3 slit green chilies
  • 5 fresh curry leaves
  • 1 small onion, sliced thinly
  • salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • ¼ tsp coriander powder
  • ¼ tsp cumin powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder/kali mirch powder
  • 1 tablespoon coriander leaves/hara dhania to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Wash the okra well under running water.
  • Wipe them well with an absorbent cloth in order to get rid of water on the okra.
  • Cut them into round pieces and discard its head and tail.
  • Take a wok, add oil and heat it.
  • Into it add the cumin seeds, add slit green chilies, fresh curry leaves and sliced onions.
  • Saute the ingredients until the onions turn slightly soft.
  • Add the cut bhindi/okra pieces into it and mix.
  • Stir fry them for few minutes on medium flame.
  • Keep stirring and keep stir frying for 5 minutes.
  • Cover the lid and cook for 5 minutes on medium flame.
  • Remove the lid and stir in between.
  • Cover the lid again and cook for another 6-7 minutes on low flame.
  • Remove the lid and stir them well in between cooking.
  • When the okra is almost tender and stir fried, add the dry spices such as salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder.
  • Mix everything well delicately.
  • Cook for another 6-8 minutes on low flame and stir in between.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves.
  • Switch off the flame when it is stir fried well.
  • Do not stir fry on high flame as the outer part gets burnt if cooked on high flame and remains raw inside.
  • Serve hot with roti or chapathi.

Notes

  • If the raw bhindi is slightly hard then it takes more time to cook and to become tender.
  • If the bhindi is tender and fresh then it gets cooked in 15 to minutes and if it is hard it takes a bit longer.
  • Therefore, cook the bhindi depending on the quality of the bhindi bought from the market.
  • Lemon can be sprinkled to get a slight tangy flavor if required.
