Bindi Masala

Bindi Masala

Serves 3
I love both the versatility and flavor of okra. Many people complain that okra is slimy - yes, it is but stir-fry it in some oil for 5-7 minutes and all that sliminess disappears, leaving behind a deliciously tender vegetable. When picking okra, make sure the pods are short, young and tender. Look for pods that are 2-3 inches long as larger pods are too mature, often stringy and not suitable for use. Try snapping the tail end of the pod using your thumb - if it doesn't snap easily or if it is too tough and difficult to cut with a sharp knife, it is probably too mature.
My bindi masala recipe is perfect for those just starting out their okra journey. This recipe combines a mix of caramelized onions, tomatoes, fresh coriander and ground Indian spices cooked with seasonal, tender okra. The result is a beautifully spicy vegetarian main that goes well with both rice and chapatis. Enjoy the recipe!
