Okra Curry Bindi Bhajee Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the okra and cut off the stalks. Prick them 2 or 3 times but don't chop them. Blanch in a little boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Strain and discard the water, which will be fairly sticky. Wash the okra in cold water.
• Heat the oil and fry Spices 1 for two or three minutes.
• Add the onion, garlic and ginger and fry for 10 minutes. Stir regularly.
• Meanwhile make Spices 2 into a paste with a little water. Add to the onion mix and fry for a further 10 minutes.
• Add the okra, tomatoes, green pepper, chillies and a little water and simmer for 30 minutes, adding water as needed.

Steps:

• Rinse okra and let dry completely before cutting into 1/4-inch thick wheel-shaped rounds, at least 10 minutes.
• While okra is drying, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat in a skillet. Fry potatoes in the hot oil until nearly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
• Heat remaining oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until beginning to brown, about 30 seconds. Add mustard seeds; cook until they start to pop, 15 to 30 seconds. Add curry leaves, followed by okra rounds. Stir-fry until okra is brown and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion, chile pepper, garlic, and salt; fry until onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add turmeric and fenugreek; stir to coat evenly. Stir in cilantro. Serve.
