Step 1
Wash and dry the 1 lb okra thoroughly, then trim the stems and slice into 1/2 inch rounds. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and 1 chopped green chili, cook until soft and golden, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Add the okra and 1 tsp salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until okra is tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 4
Add 2 chopped tomatoes and 1 tsp ground turmeric. Stir and cook until tomatoes break down into a thick sauce, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Sprinkle 1 tbsp sesame seeds over the curry and stir to combine. Cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Remove from heat and serve hot with rice or flatbread.
