Wash the okra, dry it completely, trim the ends, and slice it on the diagonal.
Saute the okra in half of the oil in an open pan for 8 minutes, then set it aside.
Toast the cumin seeds in the remaining oil for 30 seconds, until they crackle.
Add the onion and soften for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, tomato, turmeric, ground coriander, red chili, and salt.
Cook the masala for 3 minutes, until the tomato juices reduce.
Return the okra to the pan, add the garam masala, and turn gently for 4 minutes.
Sprinkle with cilantro and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Drying the okra completely and cooking it in an open pan noticeably reduces its sticky texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with roti, basmati rice, and a lemony salad without yogurt.
