Cook the meat and okra separately.

In a small pot, combine meat, chopped onions, coriander powder, black pepper, Vegeta, oil, and water.

Cook this mixture for half an hour.

In another pot, add a tiny bit of oil and a teaspoon of Vegeta to the okra to prevent it from boiling over.

Add hot water to the okra and cook until it softens.

After half an hour, add cumin powder and garlic paste to the meat and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Blend the cooked okra.

Combine the meat mixture into the blended okra and let it simmer on low for 2 to 3 minutes.

Taste for salt and adjust seasoning as necessary.
