Directions

Step 1

Wash the okra thoroughly and pat them dry using a kitchen towel. Ensure they are completely dry to prevent slime.

Step 7

Add ginger and garlic to the pan, and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Toss in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 3 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder, and cook for 1 minute to allow the spices to bloom.

Step 10

Add the okra to the pan and mix well with the onion-tomato mixture.

Step 11

Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes on low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender.

Once the okra is cooked, sprinkle garam masala and amchur powder over it.

Step 13

Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
