Notes
I cooked this small batch of okra covered with a lid, but if you're preparing a larger quantity, it's best to cook the okra uncovered to prevent it from turning slimy.
No need to thaw okra before cooking.
Do not add water, as the frozen okra already releases moisture when cooking. Extra water can make it slimy and soft.
If amchur is unavailable, use tomatoes for tanginess. Add them once the okra is partially cooked.
