How to make:
|
1. Wash okra under running water and slice off the ends. Cut each in half. Set aside. Prepare onions and tomatoes. Set
aside.
2. In a wok or heavy skillet heat the oil and sauté onions until translucent.
3. Add all spices except the garam masala and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bhoona * 1 minute. Add the okra
and stir-fry 2 minutes. Cover and steam over medium heat until tender, about 12-15 minutes.
4. Spoon the okra onto a warm serving plate and sprinkle with the garam masala. Garnish with the coriander and serve while
hot.
* Bhoona is a technique that is essential to Indian cooking. The bhoona technique means that the mixture is cooked over
medium-high heat, with constant stirring to avoid scorching, until all liquids are reduced and the spices coat the meat like a
paste. About 1/2 cup of water can then be added, the dish covered, and a gravy created as the dish becomes liquified
again. Serves 4-6 people.
