Enjoy the homestyle comfort of Bhindi Do Pyaza, a classic Indian vegetable curry with aromatic spicing. This nutritious vegetarian dish is naturally healthy, family-friendly, and fits a calorie-conscious lifestyle.
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced okra and sauté for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly crisp and the sliminess disappears. Remove and set aside.
Lower heat to medium, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the same pan. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add half of the red onions and sauté for 3 minutes until softened and translucent. Then add green chili and turmeric powder, and stir for 1 minute.
Add chopped tomato and salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Return the sautéed okra to the pan along with the remaining sliced onions. Sprinkle in the coriander powder and garam masala. Stir well to combine.
Cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes on medium heat, stirring gently to avoid breaking the okra. Let the onions retain some bite for texture.
Turn off the heat, let the dish rest for 2 minutes before serving. Adjust salt if needed and serve hot.
