Method
 

Prep
  1. Rinse the okra. Once rinsed wipe the okra with a kitchen towel. The okra needs to be completely dry. You can let them dry in a plate naturally as well.
  2. Cut the edges off. Then chop each okra into 2 pieces. Make a inch to 2 inch slit in each okra.
  3. Slice the onion into long 1/2 inch thick slices.
Cook
  1. Heat oil in a wok on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add cumin seeds.
  2. When the cumin seeds splutter add onions. Sauté until golden. Stir occasionally.
  3. Then add ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and Kashmiri chili powder. Stir well. Sauté the spices for a few minutes.
  4. Then add the okra and stir well.
  5. Cover the wok with a lid. Reduce the heat to low. Let the okra cook on low-heat for 10 to 12 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally. Then add dry mango powder and let the okra cook for about 6 to 7 minutes uncovered. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  6. Serve hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
