STEP BY STEP

Method

  1. 1

    Wash the okra and dry it very thoroughly. Trim the stalk ends and halve larger pods lengthways.

  2. 2

    Heat a wide frying pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and okra in a single layer.

  3. 3

    Cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned at the edges. Add cumin, turmeric, chilli and salt and cook for 2 minutes more.

  4. 4

    Finish with lemon juice and serve immediately.

FOSTER'S TIP

Dry okra and a wide hot pan help it brown rather than steam.

HOW TO SERVE

Serve beside dhal, curry, rice or grilled food.

STORAGE & REHEATING

Best fresh. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days and reheat thoroughly in a hot pan.

ALLERGENS

No major allergens in the listed ingredients; check packaged spice blends if substituted.
