Wash and dry the okra thoroughly, then cut off the tops and slice them into 1-inch pieces.
Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces as well.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the oil and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped onions, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground cumin, and chili powder to the onion mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pan and mix to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes and water, and season with salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, add the okra to the pan, stir well, and cover again. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes or until the potatoes and okra are tender.
Once cooked, taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
Garnish the curry with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with rice or your choice of bread.
