Bhindi Masala

Bhindi or Okra is one of my favorite vegetables. And when paired with tomato is becomes the most delicious of vegetable currys'.

This bhindi masala is very much similar to another okra recipe I made...Bhindi Do Pyaza but it is sooo different in taste. And I think I like this bhindi Masala a tad more than the other recipe. Try it

Bhindi Masala (Okra and Tomato Curry)

Bhindi Masala

Ingredients:

1. 12 oz pack of frozen pre cut okra thawed
2. 1 large or 2 medium tomatoes chopped
3. 1 medium small onion sliced thin
4. 1 tablespoons oil divided
5. 1/2 teaspoon cumin
6. 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)  ( for some reason this dish needs a bit more salt than usual to taste just right)
7. 1/2 teaspoon each , turmeric, coriander powder, chilly powder

Thaw the Okra on a kitchen towel so that it can soak up the excess water.

In a non stick pan heat half of the oil and fry the okra on medium high heat for 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Add the remaining oil to the pan and add the cumin and fry till they start to splutter. Add the onions and fry for 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and cover and cook for 5 minutes. Add the salt, chilli powder and the spices and stir to combine. Add the okra back to the pan and cover and cook for 7-8 minutes. Uncover and fry further for few more minutes. Garnish with cilantro and stir to combine and serve with roti or rice
