Before starting with the recipe, wash and pat dry each okra with a paper towel. Add 1.5 tablespoons of oil in a pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped bhindi to the pan. I like to slice each okra in two lengthwise and then cut each slice in 3 more parts. Give a good stir.Let the okra cook for 12 to 13 minutes on medium-low heat until it's completely cooked, stir often. Then remove the okra from the pan into a plate.
