    How to Make Delhi-Style Savory Okra with Aromatic Onions

    1. Create Onion Paste

    Combine onion, garlic, and ginger in a blender with ¼ cup of warm water and blend to a smooth paste.

    2. Fry the Spices

    Warm the oil in a 10–12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add cumin and fennel seeds. After 20 seconds, or once the fennel seeds begin to change color, stir in the blended paste and turmeric.

    3. Brown the Paste

    Continue to cook the paste for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping the skillet's bottom. The paste should reduce and develop a rich brown hue.

    4. Incorporate Tomato Sauce

    Mix in the ground coriander and fry for a minute, then blend in the tomato sauce and cook for an additional minute. Turn off the heat and set aside.

    5. Prepare the Okra

    Clean the okra, pat it dry, and slice into ¼-inch rounds.

    6. Combine Okra with Paste

    Reheat the skillet with the onion paste over medium heat, and add the okra, salt, garam masala, lemon juice, and 6 tablespoons of warm water.

    7. Simmer to Perfection

    Once the mixture begins to bubble, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The okra should be tender when done.

    8. Serve and Enjoy

    Dish out the cooked okra onto plates and enjoy warm.
