Ingredients

3/4 pound fresh okra

2 tablespoons sunflower oil

2 tablespoons mustard seeds

2 dried red chiles (whole)

1 onion, very finely diced

2 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped

1 small cucumber, coarsely chopped

1 garlic clove, very finely chopped

1 teaspoon very finely chopped fresh ginger root

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

Freshly grated coconut, to sprinkle

Directions

Slice the okra diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Heat the oil in a large, nonstick frying pan; when hot, add the mustard seeds. As they begin to “pop,” add the dried red chiles and onion.

Stir-fry and cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion has softened, and then stir in the tomatoes, cucumber, garlic, ginger, and turmeric. Stir-fry for another 3 to 4 minutes and then turn the heat to high and add the sliced okra. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, season, and remove from heat.

Sprinkle with the grated coconut and serve immediately.

Is this an Indian dish? It certainly sounds like it is. This might be a good side dish for an upcoming Indian meal.
Thanks!
