Ingredients

  • 500 g Okra Bhindi
  • 100 ml Oil
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds

  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 2 Onions
  • 3 Tomatoes
  • 1 Bullet Chilli
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder

  • Add the turmeric powder, salt, chilli powder, cumin powder, and the bullet chilli. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the spices are well combined.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they soften and begin to break down into a thick mixture.
  • Add the chopped okra (bhindi) to the mixture, stir well, then cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Once the okra is fully cooked and tender, the dish is ready to serve.
