  • 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 green chili chopped
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chilies powder
  • 1 tsp amchoor powder (ground mango powder)
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala

Dry masala

  • 1/2 tsp red chillies powder
  • 1/2 tsp fennel (saunf) powder

Instructions

  • First, clean and remove caps and tails of the okra. Slit them lengthwise.
  • Heat oil in a wok or a karahi.
  • Deep fry the okras and sambar onions for about 3 minutes on high heat.
  • Remove from oil. Mix in a generous amount of the dry masala powder.
  • Blend the onions and tomatoes into a smooth paste.
  • Heat 1-2 tbsp on oil in a separate wok. Mix in the blended tomato and onion paste. Saute for a few minutes.
  • Add in the ginger-garlic paste. Saute and add in green chilies, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chilies powder, amchoor powder, and turmeric powder.
  • Add in a bit of water to allow the masalas to mix well. Saute until the oil leaves the sides. Do not brown the masala.
  • Mix in the okras and onions. Add in salt to taste and garam masala. Mix well. If the masala is too dry, you can add a bit of water.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

  • This recipe works great with tawa vegetables – arbi (colocasia), karela (bitter gourd), brinjals and even potatoes.
