Instructions

  1. Wash the okra, dry them thoroughly, then cut into rounds or pieces. Wet okra will turn slimy.
  2. Heat the oil and sauté the okra over high heat for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside.
  3. In the same oil, fry the cumin, then half of the sliced onions until well softened.
  4. Add the garlic, chopped tomatoes, turmeric, salt and chilli. Let reduce for 5 minutes.
  5. Return the okra, mix gently and cover for 5 minutes over low heat.
  6. Add the remaining raw sliced onions, the garam masala and lemon juice. Stir-fry for 2 minutes to keep some crunch.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve hot with rice.

Variations and tips

Roasted version. Roast the okra at 220 °C for 15 minutes before adding them to the sauce, for less sliminess.
