  1. 1

  2. 2

    Soften the onions in oil over a medium flame with a little salt until translucent and sweet.

  3. 3

    Stir in ginger garlic paste and green chili; after a minute add the ground spices with a splash of water so they don't scorch.

    Add the okra and the onion, toss to coat in the masala, cover and cook on low, stirring twice, until tender.

    Kill the heat, stir through the cilantro and the kasuri methi, and rest five minutes before serving.

Chef's tip

Cover and cook on low — high heat toughens vegetables before they soften.
