There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

From RationalWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Ingredients[edit]

  • One large (about 250g) floury potato (e.g. Maris Piper or King Edward)
  • 150g Okra, sliced
  • 1/2 Inch ginger, minced
  • 2 Garlic cloves, minced
  • Green chillis (as much or as little as you like), finely chopped
  • 2 Teaspoons dhana-jiru (mixed ground cumin and coriander seeds, about 60:40)
  • 1/4 Teaspoon turmeric

Recipe[edit]

  1. Peel the potato and chop into 1cm dice. Soak to remove excess starch and drain. Dry a bit with kitchen roll if required.
  2. Saute the diced potato over a medium heat in a little butter and oil until browned and cooked. Set aside.
  3. Add a little oil to the same, empty pan and saute the okra until crisp but not burnt. Add to the potatoes and set aside.
  4. In a saucepan with a lid, make a wagaar if desired (heat asafoteda (hing) and mustard seeds in the pan with the lid on until the mustard seeds pop, then throw in a teaspoon of cumin seeds and take off the heat to cool back down).
  5. Add the ginger, garlic and chillis and fry over a low heat just until the rawness of the garlic is gone.
  6. Add the dhana-jeru, turmeric, and a large pinch of salt and fry for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in the potatoes and okra and fry, stirring, over a low heat for 1 minute.

Serve with chapattis, or as a veg side dish to a curry.
