how to cook okra Indian style in 2 min
Many people asked me about salt. As you can see I am an INDIAN guy. Indians eat lot of salt hence according to my taste I choose to put a bit more 😉
Again if you want to purchase the masala just go to any Big Asda or Tesco or even Morrison and search for MDH masala.
OKRA is my favourite hence I learn how to cook it fast.
Selecting and Storing Okra
The peak season for fresh okra is May through September, though you can usually find it year-round throughout the southern United States. Look for small, crisp, brightly coloured pods without brown spots or blemishes. Avoid shrivelled pods.
To store fresh okra, refrigerate the pods, tightly wrapped, for up to three days.
Gather the Ingredients
You’ll need:
1 pound fresh okra (about 45 small to medium)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Cooking oil for deep- frying
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. when hot, add mustard and cumin seeds and cook until they start to pop or change color.
Add the onion, chili, garlic, ginger and cook until translucent. 4 mins. I usually use my mini food processor to chop these. Lots of onion garlic chili used in Indian food, so i know i will need more chopped for dals or curries.
Add okra and pinch of salt., Cook for 10 minutes or until golden on some edges. Stir occasionally. Roasting the okra till the edges dry out a bit will seal in the slime.
Add spices, tomato, ketchup, salt and water. Cover and cook until tomatoes are cooked. 6 mins Taste and adjust salt and spice. Mash the larger tomato pieces. Sprinkle some garam masala and mix in. Garnish with cilantro. Serve in a bowl with dals, soups or curries and cooked grains or flatbread.
NOTES
Variation:
Add some amchur (dry mango powder) with the tomatoes.
Add in some coconut milk for a creamier sauce.
