Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb okra (bhindi)
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp amchur (dry mango powder)
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro

Method
 

  1. Rinse, dry, and slice okra into 1/2-inch rounds and let air-dry 5 minutes.
  2. Heat oil, sizzle cumin seeds 30 seconds, then cook onion 5 to 6 minutes until soft.
  3. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook 1 minute, then stir in dry spices and cook 30 seconds.
  4. Add okra, increase heat to medium-high, and stir-fry 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until charred and tender. Add salt after 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, toss with amchur and cilantro, and serve hot.

Notes

Add the salt partway through cooking rather than at the start to keep the okra from releasing moisture. If you like extra tang, serve with lemon wedges.
