Okra Curry

Okra curry - scary looking!

Okra Curry

Okra is one of those vegetables that can be scary as it appears so exotic and difficult to cook. It is however very easy and so nutritious.

Odd but delicious

Ingredients:

250g okra (ladyfinger) trimmed and cut into 3cm pieces
1 tbsp ghee
1 tsp curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
5 tbsp water

Heat the ghee in a wok or saucepan over a medium heat and when it is hot add the mustard seeds and curry leaves. When the mustard seeds start to pop, add the chopped okra together with the garlic. Stir quickly then add the curry and turmeric powders. Reduce the heat and allow the okra to cook for about 10 minutes. Add a tablespoon of water  every couple of minutes to stop the okra from catching and to allow the spices to mix with the okra. 

Lovely flavours

Enjoy with a curry of your choice.
