1 onion, diced
1 single peanuts
1 single sugar
1 single chili powder
1 single salt
1 single cumin powder
1 single coriander
1 single asafoetida
for masala: roast peanuts and powder coarsely. add a pinch of sugar, chilli powder to taste and salt to taste. (I also add - cumin powder, coriander (dhania) powder, a pinch of asafoetida - but these are optional!)
heat oil in a fry-pan (needs at least 3-4 tbsps). [ Optional - add mustard seeds and wait for it to pop.] fry onion until golden brown. Add okra and stir-fry until the okra is tender [ cooked]. Mix in the masala well until it begins looking brown.
This makes a delicious dry curry.
