Instructions
Prepare Okra. Trim the ends off the okra and cut them into ½-inch pieces.
Cook Mustard Seeds.In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add mustard seeds. Once they start popping, reduce heat to medium.
Add Garlic and Onion. Sauté garlic for a few seconds, then add onion. Cook until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
Add okra to the skillet. Mix in Garam Masala, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add water or broth, reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
If it sticks to the pan, add a little more water or broth.
Add tomatoes and amchur powder or lime juice. Cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes until tomatoes are soft.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Garnish with extra garam masala. Serve warm with rice, rotis, or naan bread.
