Ingredients
4
- 300 g okra (roughly 2.5-3 cups , frozen & sliced or fresh.)
- 3 clove minced garlic ((optional))
- 1 sliced onion
- 1/2 tsp nigella seeds/kalonji
- 1-2 sliced green chilies
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- 4 tbsp oil
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tbsp dried mango powder/kachri powder
- 1 tsp whole coriander seeds (coarsely crushed)
- 1/4 tsp aniseed or saunf
Instructions
- 1
Combine all the ingredients in a pan
- 2
Heat 3-4 tbsp oil in a saute pan and when it starts to shimmer add all the ingredients and cook on medium high heat for 4-5 minutes.
- 3
Reduce heat a little and cook partially covered, stirring occasionally until cooked through. Do not stir too often because that will break the okra
- 4
When it is done (15-20 minutes) then add a squeeze of lemon juice and adjust seasoning. If you like a more charred bhindi then you can crank the heat up and saute for a few minutes to develop that depth.
