Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. When it shimmers, add mustard seeds and listen for them to pop, ~30 seconds.
Step 2
Stir in ginger-garlic paste, cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds. Add okra, cook without stirring for 2 minutes until edges brown.
Step 3
Toss okra, sprinkle salt and chili powder, cook 2 more minutes until crispy and golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, warm the dal with a splash of water, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
In a small bowl, toss cucumber with tomato, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon. Let sit 1 minute.
Step 6
Divide rice between two plates. Top with warm dal, crispy okra, and cucumber-tomato raita. Serve immediately.
