Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Okra

    Wash the okra thoroughly under running water. Trim the ends and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, chop the tomatoes, and mince the garlic. Slice the green chili.

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Stir in the minced garlic, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  4. 6

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Green Chili
