Spicy stir fried okra--from the Indian skillet


Okras are not your favorite veggie. I get it. The slime  and the seeds and the what not's. Here is a recipe that will help you cross over. A side from India, that I absolutely adore. And real happy to share with you, straight from the skillet

You will need
1/2 lb of small okras. Take off the two ends. Chop up coarsely. And a glug of vinegar. And let stand for 20 mins. Wash off. The slime is gone baby
1 onion. Sliced
1/2 tsf of whole all apice.
2-3 cloves of garlic. Chopped
A pinch of Turmeric.
2 tbsf all purpose flour
2 tbsf oil
4 tbsf water
salt and pepper to taste

In a skillet heat oil.
Pop the all spice. Fry for a few secs til your nose feels the aroma.
Add the okra and the flour. Fry 7-8 min. Best if you cover. Will cook faster
Add the onion. Cook for another 3 min
Add the turmeric sat and pepper
Add the water. Let everything marry for a couple of mins.

Serve as a side or on a bed of lettuce and fresh tomatoes. A salad that is a side.



~Happy eating and healthy living~
