Recipe View Cook and stir the okra and spices for 3-5 minutes, allowing the okra to begin to brown slightly. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender, approximately 20-25 minutes.

For a richer flavor, consider using ghee (clarified butter) instead of regular butter.
To prevent okra from becoming slimy, ensure the pan is hot before adding it, and avoid overcrowding the pan.
Feel free to adjust the amount of spices to suit your personal preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add a touch of heat.
Serve this okra dish as a side with rice, roti, or naan bread. It also pairs well with yogurt or raita.
