How to Make It

  • 1

    Wash 500g okra thoroughly, pat completely dry, and trim the tops before cutting into 1-inch pieces.

  • 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan and sauté the okra on medium heat for 6-8 minutes until slightly charred.

  • 3

    Remove okra from the pan and set aside; do not overcook as it should retain a slight bite.

  • 4

    In the same pan, add another tbsp oil and fry the onion wedges until they turn translucent, about 3 minutes.

  • 5

    Add cumin seeds and tomatoes to the onions, cooking until the tomatoes soften into a thick paste.

  • 6

    Stir in coriander, turmeric, and salt, mixing well for 1 minute to toast the spices.

  • 7

    Return the okra to the pan, sprinkle with mango powder (amchur), and toss gently for 2 minutes on low heat to coat.

  • 8

    Cover for 1 minute to let flavors meld, then serve immediately for the best texture.
