Bhindi Masala Recipe – Okra in Onion tomato Curry

Jump to Recipe

Okra is cooked in many ways in Indian cuisine. It usually is a veggie side served as a part of a meal, served with dals and curries. It can be served as simple side cooked with just onions, or cooked in a sauces like sesame peanut coconut (book page 71), tamarind coconut(kuzhambu), and many more. Here is another simple curried Okra or a basic bhindi masala. Add more spices or add some coconut milk for creamy curry.

I get Okra from the Indian store and they seem to always have a lot in stock. Get green and young okra and try it in one of these Indian recipes.

Ingredients

1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 medium onion thinly sliced
1 green chili (finely chopped)
2-3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
1/2 inch ginger (finley chopped)
2.5 cups chopped Okra
1/4 tsp turmeric
3/4 tsp coriander powder
cayenne as needed
3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
2 tsp ketchup (or use tomato paste)
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp salt.
garam masala and cilantro for garnish.

Instructions

1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. when hot, add mustard and cumin seeds and cook until they start to pop or change color.
2
Add the onion, chili, garlic, ginger and cook until translucent. 4 mins. I usually use my mini food processor to chop these. Lots of onion garlic chili used in Indian food, so i know i will need more chopped for dals or curries.
3
Add okra and pinch of salt., Cook for 10 minutes or until golden on some edges. Stir occasionally. Roasting the okra till the edges dry out a bit will seal in the slime.
4
Add spices, tomato, ketchup, salt and water. Cover and cook until tomatoes are cooked. 6 mins Taste and adjust salt and spice. Mash the larger tomato pieces. Sprinkle some garam masala and mix in. Garnish with cilantro. Serve in a bowl with dals, soups or curries and cooked grains or flatbread.
