    Okra Supreme BHINDI SABJI

    Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 25 minutes Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    • 16 oz (455 g) fresh okra

    • 3 to 4 tbsp (45–60 ml) ghee or peanut oil

    • 1.5 tbsp (22 ml) ground coriander

    • 0.5 tbsp (2 ml) ground cumin

    • 0.25 tbsp (1 ml) paprika or cayenne pepper

    • 0.5 tbsp (2 ml) garam masala

    • 0.5 tbsp (2 ml) turmeric

    • 1 tbsp (5 ml) salt

    Instructions

    1. Wash the okra and dry it thoroughly on paper towels.

    2. Trim off the tip and stem from each okra pod. Slice the okra into rounds approximately 0.33 inches (1 cm) thick.

    3. In a large, heavy frying pan (preferably nonstick), heat the ghee or oil over moderately high heat.

    4. When the ghee/oil is hot but not smoking, add the sliced okra in a single layer. Reduce the heat to moderate.

    5. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown the okra evenly.

    6. Toward the end of the cooking time, add the ground coriander, cumin, paprika/cayenne, garam masala, and turmeric.

    7. Raise the heat to moderately high. Stirring steadily, fry until the okra is golden brown and fully cooked.

    8. Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the salt over the okra, toss to coat everything evenly, and let it sit, covered, for 1 minute before serving.
