Curried Okra by Monisha Bharadwaj

Curried Okra

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
• 300g okra, washed, well dried, tops removed and cut into small pieces
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Kashmiri chilli powder
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon amchoor powder
• salt

Method:

1. Wash the okra well in advance and lay on a tea towel to dry, preferably for a few hours or overnight until completely dry.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan.
3. Add the okra and salt to season and stir well.
4. Allow to cook on a medium heat, stirring frequently to keep it from sticking, until the okra is done. It will change from being slimy to quite firm.
5. Add the spice powders using a measuring spoon and cook for a half a minute until they are cooked.
