Recipe :
Heat oil in a pan. Add okra in it. Fry it while stirring often so that it doesn't get burned. Fry it till the Okra is crisp and its stickiness is gone.

Now take 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Add Mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. As it splutters, add curry leaves and crushed garlic. Stir it for a minute or so. Add the onions. Saute them till brown. Now add the turmeric, garam masala and salt. Saute it for a minute more.

Add the Peanuts and the coconut and fry some more. Now add the okra. Stir it well. Lower the flame. Cover the pan with a lid and cook till the okra is tender. Should take around 8-10 minutes.
