{Recipe} Stuffed Okra with Paneer in Tomato Gravy
Recipe: My mom
Serves 2 to 3
Ingredients:
- 10-12 okra (bhindi)
- 2 tbsp oil
- For the stuffing:
- 1 cup paneer (indian cottage cheese), grated
- 1/2 tsp salt
- For the gravy:
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tbsp oil
- salt to taste
Preparation:
1. Wash and dry okra. Make sure there is no moisture, then they will not turn slimy. Slit lengthwise.
2. In a bowl, mix grated paneer and salt. Stuff each of the okra pieces with this stuffing. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a shallow pan and place okra in one layer. Cook until charred and soft. Keep aside.
3. In the same pan, add remaining tbsp of oil and add onions. Saute them for 5 to 8 minutes. Then add ginger garlic paste, chilli powder, coriander powder and cumin powder. Cook on low heat so that the spices are not burnt. Add tomatoes and little water. Cook for 10 minutes until mushy. Cool and grind into a smooth paste.
4. Add the tomato gravy in the same kadai and add water to desired consistency. Once it starts to simmer, add fried, stuffed paneer. Serve with rotis or rice.
