To avoid the dreaded "okra slime," thoroughly dry the okra (and your cutting board) before slicing it. Moisture brings out the slime.

1 pound fresh okra, tops removed and sliced 1/2-inch thick
1/4 teaspoon canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
pinch mango powder (amchoor), optional
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
salt, to taste

Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and put 1/4 teaspoon of oil right in the center. Heat on medium until pan is warm. Add the cumin and mustard seeds right to the center of the oil and fry for 1 minute, or until they begin to pop. Add the onion and garlic and stir for 2 more minutes.

Add the okra and remaining spices. Stir well and cook, uncovered, until browned on all sides. Prepare to spend at least 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes, for the okra to cook completely. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
