- Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
- Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
- Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps
- Wash the okra under running water and pat them dry. Trim the ends and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
- Add the sliced onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the ginger, garlic, and green chili. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the okra to the pan, stirring gently to coat them with the spices. Cover the pan and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the okra is tender.
- Once the okra is cooked, sprinkle garam masala and give it a final mix. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with roti or rice.
