| Serves: 4
Cooking time (approx.): minutes
Style: North Indian Vegetarian
2 tablespoon(s) oil
300 grams (about 12 oz.) okra (ladyfinger) cut into small (1/4") pieces
1 medium onion(s) sliced finely
1 teaspoon(s) each of red chilli, coriander and cumin powders
½ teaspoon(s) each of turmeric powder and hot spice mix (garam masala) powder
2 green chilli(es) slit
a squeeze of lemon and salt to taste
- Heat oil on high (100%) power in a shallow microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute(s) or till it is hot enough.
- Add all other ingredients except salt and lemon juice. Mix well and microwave on high (100%) power uncovered for about 6 minutes stirring mid-way.
- Sprinkle the lemon juice and salt to taste. Mix lightly and microwave on high (100%) power uncovered for about 5 minutes (stirring mid-way) or till the okra is cooked but firm.
TIPS: - Salt should be added at a later stage of cooking (step 3) to make the okra crisp.
- When the microwave cooking time for a step exceeds 2 minutes, it is highly recommended the contents be checked and stirred at regular intervals to avoid burning of food.
- Standing time is a very important step as it completes the microwave cooking process of a dish. Ideally, allow the dish to stand for about 5 minutes before serving.
