Wash the
okra, cut off stalk ends and slice into bite-size pieces.
Heat ghee and
fry the mustard seeds for a minute.
Then add
onion and fry, stirring until it starts to turn golden.
Add turmeric,
chili if use, salt and garam masala.
Add okra,
stir well, cover and cook, stirring occasionally until okra is tender.
Serve as a
vegetable accompaniment to rice or chapatis.
Note : It is
important to buy tender okra, for the mature beans are tough and
stringy. Test by bending the tip of the bean. If tender, it will snap
but if old, it will merely bend and you will not be able to break it
easily.
