Ingredients
- 18 okra, cut in 1/4 cm slices
- 2 teaspoons chopped onion, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 potato, peeled, diced, washed in water and strained
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
- Add onion, ginger, and garlic into a blender. Pulse a few times to get a paste. Set aside.

- Heat the oil in a deep bottomed pan or a non-stick pan. Throw in the mustard seeds. Let them crackle.
- Add ginger-garlic-onion paste. Saute the mixture for 2 minutes or until you experience a nice aroma from the roasted paste.
- Stir in potatoes. Add some salt. Reduce the heat to a minimum. Cover the pan and let the potatoes cook for 5 minutes while stirring the mixture occasionally.
