Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the mustard and cumin seeds and wait until they pop.
2. Add the curry leaves, garlic and onion. Sauté for 3 minutes.
3. Add the okra and sauté for 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the red chili powder, sambar powder and salt.
5. Add the tomatoes, tamarind, sweet potato and ½ cup water. If using soaked tamarind, squeeze it well and strain it first.
6. Mix well and cook covered for 5 minutes.
7. Add the remaining water and cook until the okra and sweet potato are fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
8. Stir in the jaggery and coconut milk if using. Taste and adjust the salt and tamarind; it should be tangy and spicy, lightly sweet if you like.
9. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat. Garnish with coriander leaves if desired.
