Okra Curry












Okra is very good for brain development for children my mother used to tell us when I was small and Now I use to tell to my son. So, make okra dishes every week. This okra curry is special because of it as yogurt also. It is a side dish. It will be very good with Rice and Roti. I am sharing this with you.

Ingredients:
  • 1 lb Okra(cut okra into medium size pieces)
  • 1 tsp Mustard seeds
  • 1 Medium size onion
  • 1 Medium size tomato
  • 1/2 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp Chili powder
  • 2 tbsp Yogurt
  • Oil
  • Salt for taste

Instructions

1. Pre-Heat the 2-3 tbsp of oil in a kadhai put the cut pieces of okra and fry the okra for about 10 mts.
2. Keep the fried okra separate. Now, in the same Kadai pre-heat 2-3 tbsps of oil, and splutter the mustard seeds.
3. Add the chopped onion and fry till golden brown. Add the chopped tomato, salt, and turmeric powder and cook for 5-6 mts.
4. Then, add the fried okra and cook for 5 mts. Add the coriander powder and chili powder and yogurt.

Deepa,
Okra cooked with tomatoes AND yogurt? That's new to me. I normally use either or. I am sure your dish tastes good, though.
