Ingredients
12 to 14 long chopped bhindi/okra
2 long chopped potatoes
3 table spoon cooking oil
Note:-I have used mustard oil because the mild flavor of mustard through the oil gives the food a very natural warm color and flavor.Some of the stir fry curries like the potatoes, okra, eggplant goes really well with the flavor of mustard oil.
1/2 tea spoon chilli powder
1/3 tea spoon turmeric powder
1 tea spoon coriander powder
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
So these are the only ingredients needed to make aloo bhindi which is easily available in our kitchen.
Method
Before chopping the okra/bhindi, make sure to wash it off and then mop each of them well with a clean cotton cloth to avoid any contact with water to avoid the sliminess..then long chop the potatoes also by washing it off and mopping it too.
Now take a pan, put it on high flame..Add oil , let the oil be really hot..If you are using mustard oil, make sure to cook the oil first to avoid any strong fragrance of mustard..So how to know mustard oil has been cooked up really well?when you will pour the oil into the pan, you will see bubbles forming specially while using mustard oil. So to cook the oil good, make sure to wait until the bubbles disappear completely. It is sounding like it will take too much time but it just take 1 minute or some seconds.Now put the mustard seeds into it..it will start to pop, then add the chopped okra and potatoes, add salt and turmeric powder first..mix all the ingredients well using a spatula.
After cooking in high flame for 2 to 3 minutes , you will see the edges of bhindi/okra and potatoes becoming golden..that time add the chilli powder and coriander powder..mix well again..again cook for 1 minute in high flame and then lower the flame , close the lid to let it be cooked perfectly..
When the potatoes become soft to touch and the okra squeezes, it has been cooked perfectly..Now taste a bite of this simple delicacy..Its yummy. Give this delicious and so popular dry Indian curry a try.👍
Yummy!
