Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Okra (Bhindi)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (Hing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
Wash the okra thoroughly under running water and dry them completely using a kitchen towel. Ensure there is no moisture, as this can make the okra slimy during cooking.
Trim the ends off the okra and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the asafoetida to the oil and stir briefly.
Add the chopped okra to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the okra evenly with spices.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and cooked through. Ensure the lid is slightly ajar to allow steam to escape, preventing slime formation.
Once done, turn off the heat and sprinkle the lemon juice over the dish.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
