Ingredients
- 1 lb Okra (Bhindi) cut into equal 1/2-3/4 rounds
- 2 tablespoon mustard oil or any vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin seeds (Jeera)
- 2 green chili pepper adjust to taste
- 4 cloves garlic finely diced
- 1 cup onion medium sliced
- 1 cup onions or pearl onions, cut into squares and layers separated
Spices
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Turmeric (Haldi powder)
- 2 teaspoon Coriander powder (dhaniya powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin (Jeera powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mango powder (Amchur)
Instructions
- Rinse and completely dry okra with paper towels. Cut dried okra into rounds, discarding the top.
- Heat a pan on medium heat. Add oil to it, and let it heat. If using mustard oil, heat the oil till it smokes.
- Add cumin seeds, green chili pepper, garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the sliced onion and saute for 2-3 minutes. You want the onions to soften, not brown.
- Add chopped bhindi, turmeric, and salt. Mix well. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid.
- Add the onion squares. Add the coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder. Stir gently and lower the heat and cook for 5-7 more minutes until the bhindi is cooked through.
- Add the amchur powder. Gently stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Turn off heat, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves. Bhindi do pyaza is ready!
Notes
- Wash the okra first, and dry thoroughly using a kitchen towel or paper towel. You can also wash and leave it to dry on a kitchen towel overnight.
- When cooking bhindi, stir it very gently. We don't want to over-stir and break them while cooking.
