Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 250 grams Fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons Oil (preferably mustard oil)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango) powder
- 3 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 1 medium, chopped Green chili
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash and dry the okra with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the tops and ends, then cut the okra into 1-inch pieces.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately the size of the okra pieces.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to crackle for a few seconds.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the potato cubes to the pan. Stir well to coat them with the oil and spices.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder over the potatoes. Mix thoroughly.
Add the cut okra to the pan. Stir everything well. Reduce the heat to medium and allow to cook uncovered.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook until both potatoes and okra are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Once cooked, sprinkle the amchur powder and a small amount of salt over the dish, then mix to evenly distribute.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish with roti or rice.
