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