Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Okra (Bindi)
- 2 medium Potatoes (Aloo)
- 4 tablespoons Oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (Coriander Leaves)
Instructions
Wash the okra thoroughly and dry them with a kitchen towel to remove any moisture. Cut the okra into 1-inch pieces.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately the same size as the okra pieces.
Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick or heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil. Let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add turmeric powder to the oil and immediately add the cubed potatoes. Stir well to coat the potato pieces with turmeric.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are partially cooked.
Add the chopped okra to the potatoes. Stir everything gently to mix the okra evenly with the potatoes.
Sprinkle red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices coat the vegetables evenly.
Cook uncovered on medium heat for 10-12 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra and potatoes are fully cooked and slightly crispy.
Add garam masala and mix it gently into the vegetables in the last couple of minutes of cooking.
Turn off the heat and garnish the aloo bindi fry with freshly chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with roti, paratha, or as a side with rice and dal.
