Ingredients:

Serving

14 oz young fresh okra
7 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
1 whole dried hot red chili pepper (or less if you prefer it mild)
9 tbsp water
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
3 -4 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp whole cumin seed
1 tsp salt (more or less to taste)
1 tsp dark brown sugar (or jaggery)
4 tsp lemon juice

Directions:

Rinse the okra, pat it dry with paper towels, trim the ends, and slice into 3/4 inch lengths.
Place the garlic, chilli and 4 tablespoons water into an electric blender and blend until a smooth paste forms.
Transfer the paste to a small bowl and add the ground cumin, coriander and turmerc and mix well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a 9-inch skillet, then add the whole cumin seeds. Once they sizzle (take care, as they easily burn), reduce the heat and pour in the spice mixture from the small bowl. Saute and for about a minute.
Add the okra, salt, sugar, lemon juice and 5 tablespoons water. Stir to mix and bring to a gently simmer. Cover and simmer over low heat until okra is tender, around 10 minutes, adding a splash more water if necessary.
