Crunchy Okra

 

1 1/2 pounds okra

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 shallots, peeled and sliced

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced

2 teaspoons mild curry powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 whole green or red Serrano peppers (optional)

salt to taste

chopped, fresh cilantro for garnish

 

Wash the okra and dry it well. Cut off the stems and discard them. Slice the

okra into small rounds.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté

for about 3 minutes until the shallots are transparent.

Add the okra and ginger and sauté for about 4 minutes. Add the dry spices and

peppers, if using. Mix well. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the okra is cooked, about 15

minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with cilantro. Serves 4.
