Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin rings
  • about 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 3/4 lb small, tender okra
  • 2 tsp amchoor* (dried mango powder) or 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric

Directions:

  1. Cook onion in 2 tbsp. oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, stirring, until deep golden brown, about 15 minutes; transfer to a bowl as cooked and season with salt.
  2. Trim okra stems without piercing pods (leave a bit of stem on).
  3. Mix 1/2 tsp. salt and the spices (but not lemon juice, if using) in a bowl. Slit each okra pod lengthwise from just below stem to 1/2 in. from tip. Poke a finger into slit to hold it open and stuff with some spices.
  4. Add okra and remaining oil to pan. Cook over medium heat until lightly browned, 5 minutes, tipping pan occasionally. Add 1/2 cup water and lemon juice, if using; quickly cover and simmer until okra is tender-crisp, 5 minutes. Toss gently with onion.
