Method :

1. Dilute the tamarind with 2 cups of water and add the turmeric,chilli powder, jaggery in it.
2. Now add the okra in it and let it cook for some time once it is done only very little water will be left or no water if there is water just drain it.
3. Now heat oil in the frying pan add the seasoning one by one and add the okra to it.
4. In the medium flame saute it until it is roasted check for salt and add if necessary.
5. Serve with roti or rice.
