Okra and Potato Hash Recipe

Making an appetizer or side dish can often be time-consuming. Okra and potato hash is a wonderful option in situations when you don't have a lot of time. Not only is it quick and easy to make, it's also healthy—not to mention mouthwateringly good! The dry spices, ginger, and garlic impart a unique flavor, and the sesame seeds provide a wonderful crunch.

Let me show you the detailed recipe.

1. Add onion, ginger, and garlic into a blender. Pulse a few times to get a paste. Set aside.
2. Take pepper, cumin seeds and coriander seeds in a blender and crush them. Set aside.
3. Heat the oil in a deep bottomed pan or a non-stick pan. Throw in the mustard seeds. Let them crackle.
4. Add ginger-garlic-onion paste. Saute the mixture for 2 minutes or until you experience a nice aroma from the roasted paste.
5. Stir in potatoes. Add some salt. Reduce the heat to a minimum. Cover the pan and let the potatoes cook for 5 minutes while stirring the mixture occasionally.
6. Uncover, stir in okra and the dry spice mixture. Add some salt and turmeric powder. Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure the contents not burning the bottom. Add a few drops of oil if needed.
7. This step takes about 8-10 minutes. By this time, the veggies will be cooked and a bit roasted.
8. Check for the taste. If needed, add some salt. Turn off the heat. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds at the time of serving.
9. Enjoy it as an appetizer or side dish!
