Ingredients
Produce
- 250 gm Okra
- 2 Chillies green, slitted
- 1 sprig Curry Leaves
Spices and Flavorings
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- ½ tsp Turmeric Powder
- ¼ tsp Asafoetida
- 1 tsp Moringa Masala
- 1 Chili dried, red
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
Oil
- 2 tbsp Mustard Oil
Instructions
- Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it dry. This removes any dirt and debris.
- Heat the mustard oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle. This releases their aroma and infuses the oil with flavor.
- Add the curry leaves, dried red chili, and asafoetida to the pan. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped okra, turmeric powder, salt, and moringa masala to the pan. Stir well to coat the okra with the spices.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the okra simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Covering the pan helps the okra cook evenly and retain moisture.
- Remove the lid and stir in the slit green chilies. Increase the heat to medium-high and sauté for another 2-3 minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate and the okra to crisp up.
- Serve the bhindi stir-fry hot as a side dish with rice or roti.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your chicken. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken, but be sure to add it towards the end of the cooking process to warm it through.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- You can also freeze the cooked chicken for up to 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
