Steps to make Okra:

- Now reduce the heat to avoid a splatter. Add in the okra and mix it well with the oil. Sauté on low for 2 minutes. Now, add haldi. Mix and sauté for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle in either buttermilk or tamarind water to reduce the gooeyness of okra. Keep the okra covered and toss around every 3 minutes. When the okra shrinks a little and changes color; turn off the heat and let it sink in the heat from the wok. Mix salt finally after the heat is turned off (to ensure that you don't over-salt before it shrinks).
