Ingredients

  • 8 oz of fresh okra
  • 3 tbsp of vegetable oil, separated
  • 8 oz of potatoes, peeled and cubed (adjust amount as desired)
  • 1 tsp of cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp of black mustard seeds
  • 8 fragrant curry leaves
  • 1 diced onion (to your liking)
  • 1 chopped green chile pepper (to your preference)
  • 2 minced garlic cloves (adjust to taste)
  • ½ tsp of salt
  • ½ tsp of ground turmeric
  • ¼ tsp of ground fenugreek
  • 2 tbsp of freshly chopped cilantro

Step 1

Begin by washing the okra and allowing it to air dry for a while until it's completely moisture-free. Take your time and cut the okra into charming 1/4-inch thick wheel-shaped rounds. This process usually takes around 10 minutes.

Step 2

While the okra is drying, get your skillet ready by heating up a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, start frying the potatoes until they reach a delightful golden-brown color, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Once they are perfectly browned, set them aside for later use.

Step 3

Next, heat up the rest of the oil in a larger skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Sprinkle in the cumin seeds and let them sizzle until they release a tempting aroma, which usually takes around 30 seconds. Then, toss in the mustard seeds and allow them to dance around in the pan until they start popping, which should take about 15 to 30 seconds. Introduce the curry leaves into the mix, followed by the beautiful okra rounds. Stir-fry this delightful combination until the okra turns a lovely shade of brown and becomes crispy, typically around 5 to 7 minutes. Add in the onion, chile pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt, and continue frying until the onions begin to caramelize, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the turmeric and fenugreek, making sure to coat everything evenly. Finish off by gently mixing in the fresh cilantro for that final touch of flavor and aroma.

Step 4

Now, your delicious okra and potato stir-fry is ready to be served and enjoyed by all!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your potatoes and okra in separate containers to prevent them from getting soggy.
  2. 2. Store the curry paste in an airtight jar to maintain its freshness and flavor.
  3. 3. Consider freezing individual portions of the curry for quick and easy meals in the future.
