Instructions
  1. Wash, dry, and slice okra into bite sized pieces. (Make sure the okra are completely dry! Try to wash them maybe half an hour before you’re going to cook and use a towel to dry each okra by hand. After cutting the okra, pat dry them again with a towel. If the okra isn’t completely dry, you will end up with slimy okra, not crispy!)
  2. Heat ghee in pan over medium heat.
  3. Add in mustard seeds. When they start popping, add in cumin seeds. Once cumin seeds appear to lighten in color and begin to splutter, add in asafoetida powder, turmeric powder, and ginger paste.
  4. Immediately afterwards, add in the okra.
  5. Saute okra for about 12-15 minutes on medium heat until they are cooked through and crispy.
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm.
