3
250 g okra
2 tbsp Oil
1 tsp urad dal
tsp ½mustard seeds
1 sprig Curry leaves
2 medium sized onions
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Sambar powder
Wash, clean and chop the okra into small pieces. Set aside. Heat oil in a pan and add the urad dal, mustard seeds and the curry leaves. Let the mustard seeds crackle and the dal turn slightly brown. Add in the chopped onions and sauté on medium flame till the onions are soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the okra, salt, turmeric and sambar powder. Reduce the flame to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes to avoid scorching at the bottom. Let the onions and okra get roasted well and dried completely. Remove from heat. Serve hot with rice or roti.
