This is a great way to prepare okra using aromatic spices.
Quick, simple and deliscious.
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon
ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon
ground fennel
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Pinch of cinnamon
1/4 cup cashews roughly chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound small okra, halved lengthwise
Salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
In a small bowl, blend together the cumin,
coriander, fennel, turmeric, cinnamon.
In a large non stick skillet (or two, if
necessary) heat the oil. Add the okra, and cook over high heat
for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook until browned, 4 minutes longer.
Stir and try to turn over as much of the okra as you can and cook over low heat until
tender, about 2 minutes longer. Season with salt and sprinkle with the spice mixture.
Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the okra and add
the cashews. Stir together and serve.
