Ingredients
For roasting:
2 tbsp oil
2 potatoes (aloo), sliced
10 bhindi (okra), chopped
For sabzi:
3 tsp oil
1 tsp cumin (jeera)
½ onion, sliced
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
¼ tsp turmeric
1 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
¼ tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp aamchur (dry mango powder)
¼ tsp garam masala
½ tsp salt
1 tsp kasuri methi, crushed
Preparation
1️⃣ Roast the Potatoes:
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pan or kadai.
Add sliced potatoes and roast on medium flame.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Roast until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove and keep aside.
2️⃣ Roast the Bhindi (Okra):
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed.
Add chopped bhindi and roast gently on medium flame.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Roast until slightly crisp but not dry. Set aside.
Tip: Roasting bhindi separately keeps it from becoming slimy.
3️⃣ Prepare the Spice Base:
Heat 3 tsp oil in the same pan.
Add 1 tsp cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
4️⃣ Add the Spices:
Reduce the flame to low.
Add ¼ tsp turmeric, 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, ¼ tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp aamchur (dry mango powder), ¼ tsp garam masala, and ½ tsp salt.
Mix well and sauté gently until the spices release their aroma.
Tip: Low flame prevents the spices from burning and becoming bitter.
5️⃣ Combine Roasted Veggies:
Add the roasted potatoes and bhindi to the spice mixture.
Mix gently so the spices coat all the vegetables evenly.
Cook for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors blend.
6️⃣ Finish with Kasuri Methi:
Crush 1 tsp kasuri methi between your palms and sprinkle over the sabzi.
Give a gentle mix—don’t over-stir to keep the vegetables intact.
7️⃣ Serve:
Transfer to a serving dish.
Best enjoyed hot with soft roti, paratha, or steamed rice.
Optionally, garnish with fresh coriander for added freshness.
💡 Pro Tips:
Slice potatoes evenly to ensure uniform roasting.
Keep bhindi dry before roasting to prevent slime.
Adjust spice levels according to your taste.
Leftovers taste great the next day too!
