Curried Okra Mushrooms And Garbanzo Beans Recipes

Steps:

• If using fresh okra, trim, leaving tops intact, being careful not to cut into pods.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion and garlic with ginger and curry powder, stirring, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice, chickpeas, and water and boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Stir in okra, salt, and pepper and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until okra is tender, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• saute onion and mushrooms on medium heat with olive oil, curry powder and paprika powder for 5 minutes.
• ad salt and pepper to taste.
• ad butter and saute for another 5 minutes or until mushrooms have reached desired pan fried crust.
• serve with your favorite protein or on its own with buttered french bread.

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.

Steps:

• For the Relish: First you will want to peel your mango and then cut off the flesh from the pit.
• Place the mango in a bowl, and process it with a food processor, or simply mash it with a hand masher, whatever you choose to do.
• Mix in the rest of the ingredients and set aside.
• For the curry: In a clean food processor bowl, place the garlic, ginger, chiles and 3 tablespoons of water, and process until smooth.
• Next, heat your oil in a large saucepan, and add the whole coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds, allowing for the flavors to release a bit.
• Then add the ground cumin, the ground cardamom seeds, and turmeric and cook for about a minute or so.
• Then add the garlic paste that you made in the processor, along with the tomatoes and remaining water.
• Stir to mix well, and then add the mushrooms, okra, and garbanzo beans.
• Stir again, and then bring to a boil.
• Reduce your heat and then cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove the lid and turn your heat up slightly and cook for about 8-10 more minutes (maybe less depending on your okra), until the okra is tender but not too soft (you dont want mushy okra).
• Remove from heat and add your chopped cilantro, stirring lightly.
• Serve with your mango relish and rice (I like it with basmati).

Steps:

• Mash the chick peas with a fork so that you achieve a chunky consistency. (It will look kind of like tuna fish).
• Mix the mashed chick peas with the mayo, mustard, paprika, lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
• Eat at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Remove the stemsfrom the okra and cut into 1-in. slices.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan, then add the onion and cook for about 10 minutes. Add the okra, chili powder, turmeric, tomato, and salt, and cook, covered, for about a half hour (until the okra is tender).
• Add the garam masala, cardamom, and nutmeg, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for another couple of minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Cut off the ends of the okra pods.
• Slice the pods into approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch rounds.
• Peel and slice the onions.
• Place the sliced Okra into a glass or stainless steel bowl and sprinkle liberally with salt.
• Cover with the iced water, making sure that all slices are under water; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and drain off the salt water.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat.
• Add the Okra and fry until lightly browned. (Approximately 10 minutes).
• Turning frequently to prevent sticking.
• Add the remaining ingredients and fry for a further 3 minutes, until the onions are soft.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• In 1/2 inch of water, stir the spices and heat for a few minutes.
• Stir in the garbanzos and just enough water to barely cover them.
• Stir well, mash a few with a potato masher or fork.
• Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened, stir often.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in the lemon juice, the cilantro and tomato.
• Taste and correct seasonings if desired.
