Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the okra under cold running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the tops off the okra and slice them into 1-inch pieces. Chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and green chili finely. Roughly chop the cilantro and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pan or skillet, heat the vegetable or olive oil over medium heat until hot.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until they begin to sizzle. Next, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.

  3. 4

    Add Garlic and Green Chili

    Stir in the minced garlic and chopped green chili, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 5

    Cook the Tomatoes

    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes until they soften and break down, stirring occasionally.

  5. 6

    Add Spices

    Mix in the turmeric powder, salt, black pepper, and garam masala. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  6. 7

    Add Okra

    Add the sliced okra to the pan, stirring gently to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  7. 8

    Add Water

    Pour in the water, cover the pan, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the okra to cook through and absorb the flavors.

  8. 9

    Finish with Cilantro

    Once the okra is cooked and tender, remove the lid and stir in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning if necessary and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
