Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Okra (Bhindi)
- 2 medium Potatoes (Aloo)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Red onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
Instructions
Start by washing the okra thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel and slice off the ends. Cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Set aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic and ginger, and dice the tomatoes.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute, ensuring they do not burn.
Add the tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook the mixture until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce, about 5 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the skillet, stirring well to coat with the tomato-onion mixture. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes are partially cooked.
Add the sliced okra to the skillet, mix well, and continue cooking uncovered. Stir occasionally and cook until the okra is tender but not slimy, and the potatoes are fully cooked, about 12-15 minutes.
Adjust salt as needed and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
