Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 tsp oil
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 medium onion thinly sliced
- 1 green chili finely chopped
- 2-3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 1/2 inch ginger finley chopped
- 2.5 cups chopped Okra
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 3/4 tsp coriander powder
- cayenne as needed
- 3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
- 2 tsp ketchup or use tomato paste
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt.
- garam masala and cilantro for garnish.
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.
