Ingredients used in making Aloo Bhindi Sabzi or Indian Style Potato and Okra Masala
Okra/Bhindi/ ladies Finger– For best results, select the small size, green, and tender-looking okra. After washing the okra, it is a must to wipe dry each okra.
Potato – Try to use an equal proportion of Okra and potatoes. The potatoes must be diced to the same size as okra for even cooking.
Onion – Use freshly sliced onion and not a pre-fried one.
Garlic – Freshly chopped garlic will give the best result.
Spices – Always use a mild hot chili powder like Kashmiri chili powder. You can substitute red chili flakes with chopped green chili too. Amchoor powder can be replaced by lemon juice.

For Aloo Bhindi Masala
- Heat a saucepan or kadhai with cooking oil on low flame for 1 minute.
- Add cumin seeds and leave in oil for 30 seconds or until it starts to sizzle.
- Then add finely chopped garlic and fry for 2 minutes.
- Once the garlic turns light brown in color, add sliced onion and saute until soft and light pink. This will take about 2 to 3 minutes on medium flame.
- Now add potatoes and stir fry along with the onion for 5 minutes.
- Add red chili powder, chili flakes, amchoor powder, salt, and coriander powder. Stir well until the potatoes are well combined with spices.
- Add 1/2 cup of water to the potatoes and stir to remove any spices stuck on the pan.
- Finally, add sliced okra, stir and place the lid. Cook the curry on low flame for 10 minutes.
- To make sure that the spices do not stick to the pan, you can add a few spoons of water and keep stirring every few minutes.
