Okra Bhaji

We eat okra a lot at home but I hadn't tried it yet until now. If anyone's looking for a desi-style recipe for okra, this one is pretty simple.

Okra Bhaji
Servings: 2

8 oz. okra (pick the shorter ones <4 inches because they are more tender)
2 tbsp sliced onion
2 tbsp cooking oil
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cumin
salt to taste

1. Wash and drain okra. Slice thinly.
2. Heat oil in frying pan. Add okra, onion, turmeric, cumin and salt. Add 2 tbsp water, stir, cover, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
3. Stir bhaji until okra is cooked.
