Notes
If using fresh okra, fry them first till crisp before adding into the masala. Okra zero doesn't take time to cook.
I have used the bottled tamarind sauce used for chats. You can soak a small peice of tamarind in 1/4 cup hot water, squeeze out the pulp and add into the curry.
Add a pinch of sugar if the curry gets tangy.
