Cooking with Okra
Below is our spiced okra recipe.
Okra is slimy, astringent and has a slight bitter taste.
Cooked Okra is best for Vata and Pitta constitution. The unctuous and slimy qualities can be aggravating for Kapha dosha if not cooked with digestive spices.
Okra has high levels of fibre, encouraging optimal bowel movements. The mucus and slimy texture can help to soothe the digestive channels.
Bhindi is the Hindi word for okra. When cooking bhindi make sure to remove excess moisture.
This can be done by patting it dry before chopping it into small pieces.
Spiced Okra Recipe.
2 cups of Okra chopped into 1.5 cm pieces.
1 chopped roma tomato.
1 cm of fresh chopped ginger.
1/2 tsp of coriander powder
1/4 tsp of chilly powder(optional).

3/4 tsp of Masala powder.
2 tablespoon of Olive oil or ghee.
