I do the okra in the microwave.
Cut round or long - toss well to coat with spices and some oil, plus some besan/gram flour or cornstarch. Add only half the intuitive salt (lot of shrinkage).
Microwave - checking a few mins at a time first, then sooner bec it goes fast at the end.
If you have chaat masala, sprinkle some at the end. If not, anything a bit tart but dry.
