Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Okra (bhindi)
- 2 Potatoes (medium-sized)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the ends and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, roughly the same size as the okra pieces.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds until aromatic.
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to turn golden.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the potatoes with the spices.
Add the cut okra to the skillet. Mix gently so that the okra is evenly combined with the potatoes and spices.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow to cook for about 10-12 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the vegetables are tender and cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the top and gently mix.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked vegetables, and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Aloo Bhindi Fry hot with whole wheat roti or as a side dish with your favorite meal.
