Wash and dry okra thoroughly and cut the tips of okra and make a slit in the middle.
Grind the roasted grams to a fine powder and sieve.
Add achar masala, salt, turmeric, cumin and coriander powder to the gram flour and mix well.
Fill the okra with the mix. I had some left over so slit an onion and filled with the masala.
On medium heat, add oil and cumin seeds in a wide bottom pan. Once it starts fluttering add the masala filled okra to the pan. Stir coating the okra with oil. Cover and cook for two minutes on low heat. Add in the chopped tomatoes and yoghurt and mix well. Cover and cook until the okra is tender. Remove from heat and transfer in a serving dish. Serve with roti,naan, paratha, rice, puri etc
If you do not have roasted split grams and are using gram flour roast it in a pan using 1 teaspoon oil.
