Spicy Okra - Indian vegetarian recipes - Easy indian recipes

Hey, welcome namak mirch masala. This video is going to show you how to spicy okra or bhindi as you'd call in hindi. So for this recipe, you need the following: 1.5 lbs of okra 2 greeb chilies A lemon A lemon which is optional 9 whole red chillies 1 tablespoon of cumin seeds ¼ teaspoon of salt An onion And about ¼ of a cup of corn oil So we've got our washed okra and we're going to go ahead and chop it up. We'll also chop up our onions. Then we'll cut up the green chilies. And we'll also cut up our red chillies. So we'll start by adding ¼ cup of corn oil to a pan. Then we'll add our onion to the pan. Make sure you stir occasionally. We're going to cook the onion for about 5-8 minutes until the edges start turning light brown. It's kind of hard to see here, but if you look closely some of the edges have turned light brown. Okay, once the edges have started turning light brown, we'll go ahead and add a tablespoon of cumin seeds. Then we'll add the red chilies. Make sure to stir. Add the okra and stir. Add salt and green chilies. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes so that the watr can evaporate from the okra. Then cover the pan with the lid for about 8-12 minutes. You'll notice at the start of this step the okra tends to sticky and maybe even a little slimely. Then uncover the pan and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes. The okra won't stick together anymore and should be soft to chew.
