Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Okra

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the tomatoes, onion, and green chili into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent.

  3. 5

    Add Spices

    Stir in the cumin seeds, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.

  4. 6

    Add Tomatoes and Green Chili

    Add the chopped tomatoes and green chili to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.

    Cook the Okra

    Add the chopped okra to the pan and mix well. Pour in the water, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the okra is tender.
