Okra - Bhindi

Ok, so okra might not be everyone's favorite vegetable...but after you make this, it might be. Seriously, don't pass go, don't collect $200, just head into your kitchen and whip this up. It's simply delicious!

Ingredients:
1-1/2 lbs. okra, ends chopped, sliced on the diagonal 1/4" thick
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 serrano chili, chopped (omit seeds if you want less spicy)
1 T. ginger, grated
1/2 t. turmeric
1 T. ground coriander
1/2 t. ground cumin
1/4 t. garam masala
t. black mustard seeds
salt to taste
pinch of sugar
2 T. oil

1. Heat oil on medium heat, add mustard seeds and cook until they stop popping, then add turmeric and onions. Cook onions until translucent, 2-3 minutes.

2. Add ginger and chilis, then add the okra. Cook for 10 minutes on medium low, stirring occasionally.

3. Add remaining spices and finally add the salt. If you add the salt before, it will get too watery.
