- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon amchur (dried mango) powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala

Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra thoroughly under running water and dry them completely with a clean kitchen towel to prevent any moisture.
Step 2
Cut off the ends and slice the okra into thin rounds, about 0.5 cm thick.

Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for a few seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced okra to the pan and sauté on medium heat for about 5 minutes until they are well-coated with oil.
Step 6
Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well to coat the okra with the spices.
Step 7
Continue to cook the okra on medium-low heat for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become crispy and golden-brown.
Step 8
Add salt, amchur powder, and garam masala to the pan. Stir well to incorporate the spices evenly.
Step 9
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are well absorbed.
Step 10
