Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Okra (fresh)
- 4 pieces Green chilies
- 1 medium-sized Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Wash the okra thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove moisture.
Trim the okra by cutting off both ends, then slice them into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-inch). Set aside.
Thinly slice the onion and green chilies. Finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
Stir in the sliced green chilies and sauté for another minute.
Add the turmeric powder and coriander powder, stirring well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.
Add the sliced okra to the pan and sprinkle in the salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Cook the okra uncovered on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Avoid over-stirring to keep the okra from becoming mushy.
Once the okra is tender and slightly crispy on the edges, garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish with rice or flatbreads, or enjoy it on its own!
