Wash the Okra nicely. Keep aside in a strainer so that it becomes dry. Or tap it dry with a towel. If we cut the okra while it is wet, it becomes gooey due to its high mucilage content.
Cut the dried okra into small pieces as shown in the picture.
Cut the potatoes into small pieces of half inch cubes.
Cut the onions long and thin. Finely chop or pound garlic and ginger.
Heat a pan and put mustard oil.
Once the oil is a little hot, add panchforan seed mix and Asafetida.
Let the seeds splutter. Add onions, ginger, garlic and mix till they turn golden brown.
Add salt and cut potato. Mix well and cover. Let it cook for 5 mins on low heat
Add Okra, mix well and cover on low heat for 5 mins.
Add turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well for few seconds.
Add Amchur powder to remove the mucilage from the vegetable. It will also add a slightly tangy taste to the vegetable, which is delicious!
Mix and cover for another 5 mins on low heat till the okra and potatoes are soft.
Serve with chapati or as a side dish with rice/porridge. Enjoy
