Ingredients

  • 25-30 medium sized okra washed, dried and tops cut off
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1 tsp amchoor powder
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp light cooking oil

Instructions

  • Slit each okra halfway through the middle length-wise to open it up to enable stuffing.
  • In a bowl, prepare the stuffing mix by combining all the spices and salt. Stuff each orka with a generous pinch of the spice mix and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium heat and carefully add in the stuffed okra. Let it cook covered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally so that the okra does not burn.
  • Once the okra has softened and cooked through, it’s ready to serve!
