Benda Upkari (Okra Sabzi)


This is an extremely simple, but delicious dish, which fuses the moistness of okra with the sourness of tomatoes and spice of garlic.

Ingredients -
2 cups chopped Okra
5 dried Red Chillies
5-8 crushed garlic cloves
1 medium sized chopped tomato
Oil

Serves 2-3

Method -
In a pan heat oil on medium flame add the garlic cloves and saute for few minutes. Once they turn slightly brown, add the red chillies and saute for a minute ensuring it does not burn.
Add okra pieces and stir for 5-10 minutes. Add the tomato pieces and stir for a minute.
Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water and cook closed till the okra is soft and cooked and water has evaporated.
