Not for weight watchers this one... This recipe elongs to the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, and is eaten with phulkas/chapaties. This vegetable has to be cooked very carefully.

500 g ladyfingers or 500 g okra |
1 1/2 tablespoons ground fennel |
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin powder |
1 teaspoon turmeric powder |
1 tablespoon red chili powder |
2 tablespoons coriander powder |
2 tablespoons mango powder |
salt, as per taste |
4 tablespoons oil |
1 1/2 cups onions (thickly sliced) |

1. Clean, wash and wipe lady fingers absolutely dry. Remove the stem. Cut a slit lenghtwise and keep aside. Remember not to slice it through.
2. Mix all the powders and salt.
