7 Easy Steps To Make Okra Butter Masala

Step 1

Wash okra, dry thoroughly, and cut into bite-sized pieces; fry until lightly golden and set aside for later.

Step 2

Heat butter in a pan, sauté cumin seeds, chopped onions, and ginger-garlic paste until the onions become translucent.

Step 3

Add tomato purée, garam masala, turmeric, coriander, chili powder, and salt; cook the mixture until it thickens slightly.

Step 4

Stir in a little cream and water to the tomato masala, simmering to create a rich, smooth sauce base.

Step 5

Add fried okra to the sauce, stir well, and cook for 5-7 minutes until flavors combine perfectly.

Step 6

Stir in more butter, adjusting seasoning if needed, and let the okra soak up the creamy butter masala.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of cream, and serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
