Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Bhindi (Okra)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Urad dal (split black gram)
- 2 pieces Dried red chilies
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind pulp
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 100 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the bhindi (okra). Cut them into small pieces, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the cumin seeds, urad dal, and dried red chilies. Stir for 1-2 minutes until the urad dal turns golden brown.
Add the curry leaves and asafoetida. Stir briefly and then add the grated ginger and garlic cloves. Fry for another minute until the garlic is golden.
Add the chopped bhindi to the pan, stirring well to coat in the spices. Continue to cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bhindi is soft and slightly browned.
Add the tamarind pulp, salt, and water. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, until the chutney thickens slightly.
Turn off the heat and let the chutney cool slightly. Transfer the entire mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
