1

Chop the Okras into long cylinders of length 1.5 inch. With 2 tsp oil, fry in medium flame, with 1/4 tsp salt, until tender.
2

Once Okras are almost tender, add gram flour and stir lightly, so that veggies get a light coating of the gram flour.
3

In the mean time make the curd gravy. Add remaining salt, black salt, roasted cumin powder, chilli powder, chat powder and sugar, mix well to make a uniform batter. Add the roasted okras into the curd and let it set.
4

In a tempting pan, heat mustard oil, add asafoetida and red chilli, crackle mustard and cumin seeds, followed by crushed garlic and curry leaves. Add the tempering into the curd okra mixture.
5

Sprinkle a dash of roasted cumin powder on top and let the dish set for 10/15 minutes before serving, it tastes better.
