SPICY INDIAN STUFFED OKRA

This Indian Recipe makes a deliciously spicy Okra dish which is yet another way to enjoy this vastly underrated vegetable

Ingredients:

Making Stuffed Okra

Cut off both ends of the okra.

Using a sharp knife cut a small pouch in the longside of each okra. Do this carefully so that the slit does not go right through the okra and both the ends are closed, otherwise the stuffing will fall out.

Make the stuffing by mixing all the chili, cumin, coriander and tumeric with the lemon juice.

This should form a thick paste, if the stuffing is runny it will come out of the okra during cooking

Carefully stuff the paste inside the pouch of each okra.

Heat the oil in a fryingpan and shallow fry the stuffed okras on medium heat.

Fry a few stuffed okras at a time turning them occasionally untill they are crisp on all sides.

Your spicy stuffed okra dish should be served hot with plain rice.
