Okra Chorchori

Ingredients

  • Okra (250 g)
  • Tomato (1)
  • Onion (1)
  • Green chilies (2–3)
  • Turmeric powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Cilantro (for serving)
  • Oil (1 tablespoon)

Method

  1. Wash the okra well and cut it into large pieces. Toss with a little salt and turmeric and fry over high heat for 2–3 minutes. The okra does not need to be fully cooked at this stage—just enough to color the surface. Set it aside in a bowl.
  2. Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onion. When the onion softens, add turmeric, chili powder, and salt and fry the masala. Then add one tomato, cut into pieces. When the tomato softens, add the fried okra. Cover and cook for 2–3 minutes. Remove the lid, add green chili strips and chopped cilantro, and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Serve hot.
