Instructions

Preparation For The Stir Fry

Wash and Air Dry the Okra on a clean kitchen towel, prefrebaly a day before making it, or atleast a couple of hours before making it.
Wipe the okras dry, with a clean kitchen towel, and cut them into 1/2 inch thick dices.
Lay a paper towel in an air tight container, place the cut okra. and store it in the refrigerator.
Just before cooking, prep the onions, garlic and potatoes.

Make the Stir Fry

In a frying pan/ Sauté Pan, add peanut oil on medium heat.
Once hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them crackle.
Next add Asafetida (hing) and minced garlic. Right away add finely chopped onions. You can skip the onions if you don't want to add them.
Next add in potatoes, and turmeric and 1/2 Tsp Salt. Mix Well
Cover and let the potatoes cook until fork tender. Stir them every now and then to make sure they don't stick to the pan. We will cook the potatoes with the steam with no extra water. This may take upto 7 minutes. Don't forget to stir every now and then.
Once the potatoes are cooked we will add the okra. Let the okra cook uncovered. Stir every now and then lightly. Add another 1/2 Tsp of Salt now and mix well. Stirring okra a lot can make them sticky. So be careful
Once the okras are tender, add red chili powder, cumin- coriander powder and dry mango powder.
Mix the spices well with okras and potatoes, and cook for a minute or two.
Serve hot with rotis or parathas
