Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 500 grams Bhindi (Okra), washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons Mustard oil
  • 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds (Saunf)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Nigella seeds (Kalonji)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds (Methi)
  • 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger-Garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kashmiri Red Chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Amchur (Dry Mango Powder)
  • 1 tablespoon Coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Trim the ends of the okra and cut them into 1-inch pieces, ensuring they are completely dry to avoid sliminess.

  2. 2

    Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pan until it reaches smoking point, then lower the heat.

  3. 3

    Add fennel seeds, nigella seeds, and fenugreek seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for 10 seconds.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn translucent and light golden brown.

  5. 5

    Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.

  6. 6

    Add the okra pieces and cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes without covering the pan to keep them crisp.

  7. 7

    Add the turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt; mix gently to coat the okra.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle the amchur powder, cook for another 3-4 minutes until the okra is tender, and serve hot with paratha.
