Ingredients : Serves 4
250 g young okra (ladies fingers)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric, ground
1 onions, chopped finely
3 fresh green chilies, seeded and sliced
8 curry leaves
1
teaspoon roasted ground cilantro
1/2 teaspoon roasted ground cumin
1
teaspoon pounded dried shrimps
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1
1/2 cups coconut milk
Oil for frying
Small piece of cinnamon stick
Method :
Wash the okra with running water. Cut the
hard part at the top. Then sliced diagonally into bite-size lengths,
about 1.5 inches. Rub the okra with ground turmeric. Heat up a small
frying pan with oil and deep fry the okra until lightly browned. Drain.
Put all the other ingredients into a saucepan and simmer uncovered until
the onions are cooked. The cooking should takes about 10 minutes. Add
the fried okra, simmer until tender. Remove from the heat and serve hot
with steamed white rice.
