Stir in the garlic plus the garam masala, ground cumin and turmeric powder; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

Add the okra, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

For deeper flavour, toast the garam masala in the oil before adding anything wet.
