Bhindi is a traditional dish in Pakistan and means okra in Hindi. This recipe was given to me from my dear friend, Neda, who has enjoyed this dish since she was a little girl.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced thinly
1 dried red chili
1/2 pound okra, tops removed and sliced into 1 in. pieces
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin seed
2 medium tomatoes cut into large chunks
Directions:
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until slightly browned, 10 minutes. Remove the top from the chili and add to the onions. Next, add the okra and allow to cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the turmeric and cumin seed and stir to coat the okra mixture. Allow the okra mixture to cook down for an additional 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes, stir, and cook until the tomatoes are cooked through, 5-10 minutes. Serves 2-3.
