Okra Preparation

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Okra

Wash the okra and trim the ends. Cut them into 1-inch pieces.

2

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

3

Cook the Okra

Add the chopped okra to the skillet and stir well. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is just tender.

4

Add Tomatoes and Spices

Stir in the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and the okra is cooked through.

5

Finish and Serve

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve hot as a side dish or over rice.
