Urad dal - 30-50 gm

Coriander seeds whole - 10 gm

Cumin seeds (optional) - 10 gm

Fenugreek seeds - 5-7 seeds in number (use the seeds sparsely as fenugreek adds a dash of bitterness)

Red chilies - 7-10 in number (or according to how spicy and hot you prefer the curry to taste)

Okra - 500-750gm

''' Additional ingredients '''

Tamarind - 5 gm

Salt - to taste

Turmeric - a pinch

'''Procedure '''

First cut the okra into dices. In the meantime, keep a pan with oil on the burner and allow to heat in gentle low flame. As soon as you feel the oil is hot enough put the diced okra in it. Add salt to taste followed by a pinch of turmeric and allow it to cook in its own juices for a while.

Meanwhile, take the mixture of all the pulses, spices and condiments and dry grind these ingredients into a powder. Don't make it too fine, let the mixture be a bit coarse. When the okra is cooked, add a little tamarind piece or its juice to it and then add the ground mixture. Stir all the ingredients with a wooden spatula or a ladle carefully for two minutes and allow the ingredients to settle down after you've switched the burner off.
