Step 1

Preheat oven on Broil setting.

Step 2

Move a shelf to two notches down from the top of the oven so it’s not too terribly close to the broiler.

Step 3

Prepare a heavy-duty baking sheet by lining with foil or parchment paper.

Step 4

Slice the okra into 1/4 inch chunks and place in a bowl.

Step 5

Add the rough chopped onion into the bowl.

Step 6

Pour over the oil and all the spices (Everything except tomatoes and cilantro).

Step 7

Spread out the spiced vegetables across the baking tray, ensuring as even and flat a layer as possible.

Step 8

Broil for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway. Don’t panic if you see some stickiness to the okra. This will dissipate once it cooks.

Step 9

As the okra and onions are almost cooked, clear away a space in the middle, and place tomatoes in this space to broil along with the okra and onions.

Step 10

Once the tomato has wilted and is cooked through, remove the pan from the oven, pour lemon juice, and mix everything together well.

Step 11

Plate and garnish with cilantro.

Step 12

Serve with naan, chappatis, or eat plain. I often eat this hot one day, and with yogurt the next day as a cold salad.

Step 13

Place onions and sliced okra in a bowl

Step 14

Add all spices and oil

Step 15

Place onions and sliced okra in a single layer on a pan that fits inside of your air fryer

Step 16

Air fry the okra and onions at 375F for 20 minutes

Step 17

Add in tomatoes and cook until wilted
