Wash and dry the okra thoroughly to avoid sliminess.

Trim the tops of the okra and make a slit along one side without cutting through completely.

Prepare the stuffing by mixing finely chopped onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, and spices in a bowl.

Stuff each okra with the prepared mixture, pressing gently to secure the filling.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the stuffed okra to the pan in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Cook until they start to brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Cover the pan and cook until the okra is tender.

Remove the lid and cook to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.

Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
