Ingredients :
Okra(bhindi ) , cut into 2 inch pieces
½ cup of yellow lentils(toor dal) ,
2 medium sized onion, cut into strips ,
1 medium sized green (unripe) Mango,cut into 2 inch long strips ,
(I am lucky to get unripe mango here at this time of season, I don't know how, but I find it it Market, asn was so happy to get it. :D )
1 tomato, sliced ,
2 fresh green chillies, deseeded & sliced , 1 tsp ginger garlic paste,
¼ tsp fenugreek seeds,
1 tsp ground coriander,
¼ tsp turmeric powder,
½ tsp red chilli powder,
1 ½ tsp oil,
Salt to taste
½ cup fresh coriander leaves.
Method : 
Wash the lentils thoroughly and put it in a sauce pan / cooker with enough eater and cover. Bring it to boil and cook until soft but not mushy. When cooked enough for this, drain and set to one side.
Cut okra into 2 inch long pieces, onions lengthwise, tomato into long slices, and Mango into strips of 2 inches length. (This kind of cutting of each vegetable will give a nice look to this dish. Refer to picture here for how to cut these veggies.)
Now heat oil in a pan, add fenugreek seeds in it, when they begin to pop, add green chilli, and then add the onion until it turns little transparent , Lower the heat and add ginger – garlic paste & turmeric powder to it.
Add okra pieces in it. Let it cook until okra is tender and non sticky. When okra is well cooked , throw in the mango slices .As mango slice will not take much time to turn tender , within a minute of it, add ground coriander , and red chilli powder.
Next add cooked lentil and tomato slices to it. Just cook for a while and add chopped coriander leaves and turn of the heat. Okra with green Mango and lentil is ready for you :)
If you love Okra, you will love this dish too.
A tangy and spicy and healthy dish is ready to serve with hot chapattis . : )

Thank you for accepting my Okra:)
You are so lucky to be in India and enjoy all those fresh veg and raw mangoes! I just get some frozen Okras in the super markets here in NC.When you do get fresh ones, they are expensive.
Great recipe:)
Never tried okra with green mango before, shall definitely try this
Hi Pooja,great combination of mangoes with okra.never heard it thoug.I agree with asha,you are really lucky to be enjoying all those beggies.Here in london,I have to change two trains in order to get to the indian markets.Frozen are no good at all.Will try this whenever I can lay my hands on okra and mango together..:)
Hi Pooja, how are you. I have been quite cuz I am very busy at the moment. Anyway, okar with mango sounds like heaven. Like most people this is new to me, so I have to try it. Getting a green mango maybe a problem though as Vini said not easy in London....take care...~soft smile~..

Hi Pooja,
The combination is really new,but looking great dear.Hey let me share one joke with you,which happend between me and my hubby.
I asked him to get fenugreeks last week, he got.This week again i asked to get him Okra.He asked y specially Okra.I said, becoz pooja annouced this week veggie as ladies fingure only.
For that he is saying that,,,so pooja has became deciding factor in our home, i think for few more weeks, whatever she decides,is going to be cooked in our kitchen right???
