Optional additions like ginger, garlic, or yogurt depending on regional variations.
Preparation:
1. The okra is typically washed, dried thoroughly, and then cut into small pieces.
2. It is sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and spices until tender and flavorful.
3. The dish can be cooked dry or with a little gravy, depending on personal preferences.
