Slice the okra into small, thin slices.

Peel and dice the potatoes into small pieces.

Microwave the diced potatoes for 2 minutes to cook faster.

Heat a little avocado oil in a pan over low heat to fry the okra.

Add the sliced okra to the pan and fry on low flame until it gets nicely brown and crispy.

In another pan, fry the diced potatoes until golden brown.

Once both the okra and potatoes are ready, mix them together in one pan.

Add half a spoon of turmeric, half a spoon of cumin powder, one spoon of coriander powder, one spoon of red pepper, some carom seeds, and salt to taste to the okra and potatoes.

Mix well and fry for a few minutes on a higher flame.

Add chickpeas flour (besan) to lightly coat the potatoes and okra, making them crispier.

Fry for a few more minutes until ready to serve.

Add green pepper for spiciness, if desired.

Cilantro can be added as a garnish, but it is omitted due to an allergy.
