Grilled Okra in Tomato Gravy

Grilled Okra in Tomato Gravy served with Spinach Dhall

Again, this is one of my mother's recipes. It goes well with basmati rice and other slightly heavy curry.

Ingredients ( Serves 4)

25 Okras, washed and sliced into 1.5 inch pieces

1 small onion, sliced thinly

1 sprig curry leaves

1 tomato, cut into medium sized cubes

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1/4 tsp ground pepper

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp cumin powder

Salt to season

Extract of 1 inch tamarind pulp

Method

Grill the Okras with minimal oil and drain on paper towel.

Heat a pot of oil and fry the onion and curry leaves.

Add in the spices, tomato sauce, salt tamarind and give it a stir. Let it cook for 2 mins.

Then, stir in the tomato pieces and cook again for 2 mins.

Lastly add in the grilled okra and let them absorb the tomato gravy.
