Okra/ladies finger stir fry

This is one of the old recipes - a day to day dish in many houses,especially in Tamilnadu ,Kerala…mainly this is a part southern Indian cuisine .it’s just a side dish.
I love okra…my mom never used to add coconut in her okra stir fry..I had okra with grated coconut as stir fry in Chennai when I was there for an official visit..years back…but taste captured my attention..of course a few changes to adjust to my taste and my recipe for the dish is ready 😌
Garlic as an ingredient is optional.I don’t use it when my parents or in laws are there,since they don’t use garlic..I grew up in an house hold where garlic was never used.nothing changed post marriage..but as time passed ,and I started cooking,things changed.but I still respect their choices..
