Recipe Instructions

Next, follow the steps to finalize your dish and finally be able to enjoy it!

  1. Wash and dry the okra. Cut off and discard the heads. Cut the okra into slices.

  2. Heat the oil in a pan.

  3. Add the chillies to the pan and saute it for a few seconds.

  4. Now add the chopped onions and stir fry till the onion softens and the edges of the pieces of onion start turning brown. Now add the okra and kokum to the pan and saute for a couple of minutes, stirring every now and then to ensure it doesn’t stick to the pan or burn.

  5. Add salt to taste and stir and continue to cook uncovered till the edges of the okra slices start turning a light brown. At this stage add a touch of water (a couple of tablespoons) to help the vegetable cook. Lower the flame, cover the pan and simmer for a few minutes.

  6. Stir the contents of the pan and check for seasoning and and when the okra is tender, add the coconut and stir through. (When you first uncover the pan, if the okra hasn’t cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed, add another small splash of water and continue to cook till the okra is tender).

  7. Cook for another minute or till the coconut has warmed through. Serve hot.
