Okra- Peanut fry

One day I had a lil bit okra which cannot be used for the normal fry. So I had to think of some other ingredient which can go with okra. I was scanning the kitchen cupboard and I finally made a decision of using peanut along with okra. So here goes the recipe.

Okra - 250 gms
Peanut - palmful
mustard, split urad dhal - for thadka
oil - 5 tsp
salt as per taste
Hing( Asafoetida) - 1/2 tsp
turmeric - 1/2 tsp
chilli powder - 2 tsp

Heat oil in a pan and mustard. Let it splutter and then add split urad dhal and fry for 30 secs. Then add turmeric, hing and peanut .Wait for the peanut to get roasted and then add the okra ( cut into small pieces) to the pan .Add chilli powder and salt.Then fry for 10 mins. The curry is ready.Can be a good side dish for chappati , roti too.
