Mushroom and Okra Curry image

The earthy flavor of mushroom and the sweet nutty flavor of okra combine delicously in this easy Indian curry. The best way to eat okra is when it is young and freshly picked. I prefer to cook it whole. Just wash and dry the okra and trim the stem ends. Be careful not to slice into the pod itself and allow juice to escape. This can be a main dish for 4 people or a side dish for 6.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
1 inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and roughly chopped
2 fresh red chilies, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 green cardamom pods
1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 (14 ounce) can peeled and chopped tomatoes
1 lb mushroom, halved (or quartered, if large)
8 ounces okra, washed, dried and trimmed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and grind in a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
  • With either a stick blender or food processor, blend the garlic, ginger and chilies with 3 tablespoons of the water, until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat a large pan over medium to high heat, add the oil, and when hot, add the coriander and cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds. Add the ground cumin, cardamom and turmeric and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic, ginger and chili paste, the tomatoes, the remaining water, mushrooms and okra. Mix well, bring to the boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook the curry for 10 minutes more, or until the okra is tender.
  • Serve hot, garnished with the cilantro and accompanied by rice and a tangy Indian relish.

I would not recommend this recipe. The okra was slimy and the curry was very watery.

This curry is a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less oil when you make it.

This curry is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a huge fan of okra, but I really enjoyed this curry. The mushrooms and coconut milk helped to balance out the okra's flavor. I would definitely make this again.

This curry is a great way to use up leftover okra. I had some okra that was starting to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! The curry was delicious and the okra was so tender.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! The curry was flavorful and the okra was cooked perfectly. I served it with basmati rice and it was a perfect meal.
