Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1/4 cup canola oil
1 pound small to medium okra, whole if small, or cut into 1/2-inch pieces, stems trimmed
1 onion, preferably Vidalia, chopped
2 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

Line a plate with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the okra and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to the prepared plate. Set aside.
