Instructions

1
Heat the ghee or oil in a heavy pan and let the aromatics sizzle until their rawness is gone.
2
Sear the Okra in batches so it browns rather than steams, and set aside.
3
Cook Ghee and Garlic in the same pan until soft and sweet, deglazing with a splash of water.
4
Return the Okra, add the ground spices and salt, and fry hard for two minutes to toast the spices into the meat.
5
Pour in just enough water to come halfway, cover, and simmer gently until everything is tender.
6
Finish on a high heat to thicken, check the salt, and serve scattered with fresh coriander.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
