Okra with garam masala is a vibrant dish from Indian cuisine that combines spice and tenderness. Okra, also known as bhindi, absorbs the aroma of fried garlic, chili, and onion in this recipe, creating a rich flavor bouquet. Garam masala and coriander add warm earthy notes to the dish while tomatoes provide a pleasant tanginess. This dish pairs perfectly with rice or fresh flatbreads, filling the meal with Eastern motifs. In India, bhindi is often prepared as part of home lunches as it is not only tasty but also nutritious. Spicy, slightly hot and velvety in taste, okra with garam masala will be a great addition to your table showcasing the richness of Indian spices.
