Description
A delicious combination of fried okra mixed with spiced, pureed tomatoes. An Indian delicacy.
Ingredients
- oil for frying
- 1 ¾ pounds okra, trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 3 tomatoes, quartered
- 1 (1/2 inch) piece fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground red chile pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon dried mango powder (amchoor)
- ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- ¾ cup water
Directions
- 1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. Deep-fry okra, 5 at a time, in hot oil until softened and dark green, about 5 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
- 2. Place tomatoes and ginger in a food processor; grind into a paste.
- 3. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin; fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato-ginger paste, salt, chile pepper, turmeric, mango powder, coriander, and garam masala. Cook until oil separates and sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add yogurt; cook until oil separates again, about 2 minutes.
- 4. Pour in water and bring sauce to a boil. Add fried okra. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until flavors combine, 5 to 6 minutes.
