Ingredients used in making Aloo Bhindi Sabzi or Indian Style Potato and Okra Masala

Okra/Bhindi/ ladies Finger– For best results, select the small size, green, and tender-looking okra. After washing the okra, it is a must to wipe dry each okra.

Potato – Try to use an equal proportion of Okra and potatoes. The potatoes must be diced to the same size as okra for even cooking.

Onion – Use freshly sliced onion and not a pre-fried one.

Garlic – Freshly chopped garlic will give the best result.

Spices – Always use a mild hot chili powder like Kashmiri chili powder. You can substitute red chili flakes with chopped green chili too. Amchoor powder can be replaced by lemon juice.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash the okra well and wipe each of them until dry. Cut the okra into 1/4th cm in thickness.
  • Peel and dice the potatoes to the same size as okra.
  • Chop the rest of the ingredients as well and set them aside.

For Aloo Bhindi Masala

  • Heat a saucepan or kadhai with cooking oil on low flame for 1 minute.
  • Add cumin seeds and leave in oil for 30 seconds or until it starts to sizzle.
  • Then add finely chopped garlic and fry for 2 minutes.
  • Once the garlic turns light brown in color, add sliced onion and saute until soft and light pink. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes on medium flame.
  • Now add potatoes and stir fry along with the onion for 5 minutes.
  • Add red chili powder, chili flakes, amchoor powder, salt, and coriander powder. Stir well until the potatoes are well combined with spices.
  • Add 1/2 cup of water to the potatoes and stir to remove any spices stuck on the pan.
  • Finally, add sliced okra, stir and place the lid. Cook the curry on low flame for 10 minutes.
  • To make sure that the spices do not stick to the pan, you can add a few spoons of water and keep stirring every few minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, check if the vegetables are fully cooked. Cook for slightly more time if you find it uncooked. Taste and adjust the seasoning as well.

To serve

  • Serve hot with hot rotis/parathas. Or serve as a side dish with the main course.

Notes

Do not overcook the vegetables.
Add more chili flakes if you want the curry to be spicier.
