Everyone complains of slimy okra – all you have to do is fry it first before incorporating it into the curry!

Normally you would fry the okra in batches on it own first and then start the curry. But curries are very versatile and this time, I fried the okra and onions together in hot ghee.

Ingredients

  • 600 grams okra, washed and dried
  • 500 grams red or white onions, sliced
  • 1 cup ghee
  • 1 cube frozen garlic and ginger (or 3-4 cloves garlic and a 2cm bit of ginger – finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • ½ tsp chilli powder (optional)
  • 4 tbsp lightly whisked yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the okra, top and tail and cut into 2-3 cm pieces. Slice the onions
  2. Heat ½ cup of ghee in a wok on medium / hot
  3. Throw in the okra and onions and stir to coat everything in the ghee.
  4. Fry until the onions and bhindi start to brown and then take out of the wok.
