Method

  • step 1

    Heat a large wok or frying pan over a medium heat. Add the oil, then the onions, cooking until soft. Stir in the okra. Add the tomatoes and chilli, then season. Mix well and keep stirring gently, taking care not to break up the okra. Okra releases a sticky substance when cooked, but keep cooking, stirring gently – this will disappear and the tomatoes will become pulpy, about 10 mins.

  • step 2

    Lower heat, add ground coriander and cook for another 5-10 mins. Add 2 tbsp water, cover and let simmer for another 4-5 mins. Sprinkle with coriander and serve with basmati rice or chapati bread.

This was okay, i.e. perfectly edible, but I found it still a bit bland and lacking a punch, even though I added garlic and cumin, as per other reviewers' suggestions.

I would make this again, but I would definitely add more spice to it and maybe ginger as well.

I added some garlic and ginger paste while frying the onions and some extra hot chilli powder with tinned tomatoes. A very tasty dish!

Used tinned tomato and was delicious. This is keto friendly!

And a generous 5 bulbs of garlic. Reduced onion quantity as keto says to go easy with onions.

As okra releases a slime when cooked, or cut before cooking - not to everyone's taste - I would combine the Chinese stir-fry method with whole, uncut okra to get a crunchy feel, and reduce the tomato. Finally, cover with crispy onions (or fried minced-meat if not vegetarian).

question

Is this recipe put out slimy Okra though? It sounds great!
