Instructies
Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan or skillet over low heat.
Add mustard seeds to the hot oil and fry for about 30 seconds until they start to splutter.
Stir in the mustard paste and cook for another minute, ensuring it doesn't burn.
Add whole okra to the pan and toss to coat with the mustard mixture.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt over the okra.
Mix well.
Cook the okra on medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still crisp.
Once the okra is cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat.
Serve hot as a main course, accompanied by rice or Indian flatbread.

Wine Advice:
While traditionally not paired with wine, you can enjoy this Okra & Mustard (Shorshe Dharosh) with a light and refreshing Indian lager beer for a classic accompaniment. Alternatively, a glass of mango lassi can provide a cooling contrast to the spices.
