Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the okra

  • Wash the okra and pat dry completely, as drying prevents sliminess.

  • Cut the okra into 1-inch pieces.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Sauté the okra

  • Start by heating 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. 

  • Once it's hot, toss in the chopped okra and fry it over medium heat until it’s lightly crisp. 

  • After that, take it out and set it aside.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Cook the masala base

  • In the same pan, pour in a tablespoon of oil. Start by tempering some cumin seeds, and then toss in the onions and sauté them until they turn a lovely golden brown. 

  • Next, add the garlic, ginger, and green chilli, and let everything cook together for about a minute.

  • Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric, red chilli powder, and coriander powder to the mix. Let it cook until the tomatoes soften up and the oil starts to separate.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Combine and finish

  • Add the sautéed okra back into the pan and give it a gentle mix. 

  • Then, sprinkle in some garam masala, amchur, and a pinch of salt. 

  • Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
