Okra


1 lbs okra
4 tablespoon oil
1 1/2 garam masala
1/2 teaspoon salt

Okra is washed and cut into bite size pieces

Heat a pan (preferably a non-stick) on medium heat to it add oil.  When the oil is warm add the okra, stir, cover and let it cook for 2 minutes.  After 2 minutes remove the cover stir and let it cook till is is done.  Cook till it is crisp.  Add garam masala, salt and stir.

This serves 4 people.
This vegetable can stand heat and grows during summer.  It is available in plenty in summer.  To pick fresh okra they should be green.  If the tail end snaps easily it is fresh.  The recipe above is simple but it can be enhanced with red chili powder
