Directions
- First to make the mango relish, peel the mango and cut off the flesh from the pit.

- Add garlic, ginger, and chiles and 3 tbsp water in the blender and make a smooth paste.
- Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan and add the coriander seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle for a few seconds.
- Add the ground cumin, cardamom and turmeric and cook for about 1 minute or more.
- Add the garlic paste, tomatoes and remaining water, then stir to mix well.
- Add mushrooms and okra and mix again, then bring to a boil. Mix and reduce heat, then cover and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the cover then turn up the heat a little bit. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the okra is tender but not too soft.
- Stir and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
- Enjoy! Serve with paratha and mango relish.
