Easy Step-by-Step Instructions for making Potato and Okra at Home.
Prepare the Vegetables
Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes. Wash the okra and trim the ends, then slice it into 1-inch pieces. This preparation ensures even cooking. (Time taken: 5 minutes)
Heat the Pan
Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and let it warm up. Once hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds. (Time taken: 2 minutes)
Sauté the Potatoes
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and sauté them for 4-5 minutes until they start to turn golden. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the pan. This step will make the potatoes crisp on the outside while staying soft on the inside. (Time taken: 5 minutes)
Add the Okra
Now, add the sliced okra to the pan. Stir it well to combine with the potatoes and spices. Allow the okra to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until both the potatoes and okra are tender and slightly caramelized. (Time taken: 10 minutes)
Season the Dish
Sprinkle in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well, coating the vegetables with the spices. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes for the flavors to blend. If the mixture sticks, you can add a splash of water and cover the pan to steam the vegetables. (Time taken: 3 minutes)
Final Touch
Once the potatoes and okra are cooked to perfection, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired. Serve hot with rice or roti for a comforting meal. (Time taken: 2 minutes)
Total Time: 25-30 minutes
Enjoy your delicious, hearty Potato and Okra dish, perfect for any time of day!
