Ingredients

  • Okra - 200 grams
  • Onion - 2 medium-sized, sliced
  • Tomato - 1 medium-sized, chopped
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Garlic - 1 teaspoon, minced
  • Green chili - 1, slit
  • Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
  • Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Salt - to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves - for garnish

Steps

  1. Wash the okra under running water and pat them dry. Trim the ends and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
  3. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the ginger, garlic, and green chili. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.
  7. Add the okra to the pan, stirring gently to coat them with the spices. Cover the pan and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the okra is tender.
  8. Once the okra is cooked, sprinkle garam masala and give it a final mix. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with roti or rice.
