Recipe Notes
Heat oil in a large pan. Once the oil is hot, add in cumin seeds and asafoetida.
Once you can smell the toasted cumin seeds, toss in the onions, salt to taste, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and coriander powder.
Cook the onions for 5 mins.
Add the cut okra into the pan and mix well.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the onions caramelise and the okra is cooked.
Add the dried mango powder and stir well.
Cook further for another 10 minutes while keeping a close eye on the okra. You want the okra and onions to catch a little so the onions are caramelised a little and the okra are slightly browned.
Take off the stove and garnish with the coriander leaves.
