Ingredients
Roasted Peanut Base
- 4 tbsp Peanuts
Okra Mixture
- 20 Okra Pods
- 4 clove Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 3 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 1/2 tsp Caraway Seeds
- 2 Chillies green
Instructions
- Dry roast the peanuts in a pan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. This enhances their nutty flavor. Transfer the roasted peanuts to a plate to cool completely.
- In the same pan, heat the sesame oil. Add the cumin seeds and green chilies. Sauté briefly until fragrant. Add the okra and toss until they turn light brown and slightly tender.
- Add the garlic cloves and toss quickly. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the cooled peanuts, okra mixture, yogurt, and salt. Pulse until the mixture reaches a semi-smooth, dip-like consistency. Avoid over-processing, as some texture is desirable.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve with your favorite breads, nachos, kathi rolls, or crudités.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Don’t add water.
- For an extra creamy texture, roast the peanuts before blending, and add a splash of warm water or a spoonful of unsweetened yogurt while processing the spread.
- If you prefer a chunkier dip, reserve a small portion of sautéed okra and peanuts to fold in after blending.
- Try serving the spread as a filling for whole wheat wraps, or use it as a base layer on toasted baguette slices.
Expert Tips
- Adjust the spice level by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce to the peanut mixture while blending.
- For a richer flavor, use roasted garlic instead of raw garlic.
- If you don't have peanuts, try substituting other nuts like cashews or almonds.
Storage Instructions
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Before serving again, let it come to room temperature and give it a quick stir.
