Balti Okra Masala (Masala Bindi) Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/8 lb okra
- 1/4 c. oil
- 1/2 lb onion, cut into thin slices
- 1 Tbsp. grated fresh root ginger
- 1 ounce tomatoes, finely minced, fresh
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp grnd turmeric
- 1 tsp grnd fresh green chiles
- 2 Tbsp. whole coriander leaves
Directions
- 1 When buying okra, always pick the small hard ones as they are easier to cook. Wash the okra in cool water and wipe off excess water with kitchen paper. Cut off tops and tails of okra and either leave okra whole, or possibly cut into 5 cm (2-inch) pcs.
- 2 Put the oil into a*karai* or possibly deep frying pan, add in the onions and fry till they are transparent. Add in the ginger, tomatoes, salt, turmeric and chiles.
- Simmer mix on low heat for 7-10 min or possibly till the liquid is reduced.
- 3 Add in the okra and stir once. Simmer for 10 min on low heat or possibly till okra is cooked but till hard to touch. Don't stir too often as okra is a very delicate vegetable and may break up. Sprinkle with coriander leaves.
- Serve with a raita and chapatis.
