Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 1 lb okra
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • ½ tsp black mustard seeds
Heat two tablespoons of oil over medium-high, lower to low and add the mustard seeds; wait for them to splutter, or they taste bitter.
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 whole small onion
Add the cumin seeds, then the sliced onion, then turmeric and the okra (rinsed before chopping, so it is less slimy).
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
Turn the heat to high and stir from time to time until the slime reduces.
  • 1 whole small tomato
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
Add the tomato and ground cumin; cover and cook on medium-low.
  • salt
Add salt near the end to keep the okra from getting too slimy.
