Ingredients

• 200 - 250 g Bhindi, Okra, Lady's finger
• 4 -5 potatoes
• 1 or 2 chopped tomatoes
• 1 onion finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon crushed ginger
• 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
• 2 to 3 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 garam masala powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds/jeera powder
• 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon amchur - dried mango powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder (optional)
• chopped cilantro/coriander leaves for garnishing
• oil
• salt

Preparation

• Clean the okras in running water. Wipe them dry. Then chop them in 1.5 inch pieces as shown in the photo below. Chop the potatoes in medium size pieces.
• In a pan, heat some oil. First fry the potatoes.
• Once they are done in the same oil, fry the chopped okra.You could also saute the potatoes and bhindi and later let it cook in the gravy.
• Remove the extra oil from the pan. In the same oil, add onions. Saute it till transparent. Now add crushed ginger and garlic. Saute them with onions till their raw smell disappears.
• Add the chopped tomatoes now. Add all the spice powders except amchur powder and garam masala. Saute till the tomatoes become soft. You could add some salt to quicken the cooking of the tomatoes.
• When the masala is well fried and the oil starts to leave from the masala, add the fried bhindi/okra and aloo/potatoes.
• Mix the veggies well with masala. Simmer for 1-2 minutes. If you have just sauted the veggies, then you would have to cook them for some more time. Finally add the amchur and garam masala. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
