Okra fry

Okra fry:
I love okra fry with cashews. You can substitute cashews with raw peanuts also. I saute the okra in the beginning in a pan and cook in the microwave for 8-9 minutes. This helps cut down the overall cooking time. I use this technique for green beans also. You can make this dish by sautéing in the pan only.
Ingredients:
2 pounds of okra trim the heads and tails off. Chop into rounds
1/3rd tbsp salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp chili powder
1/3’rd cup cashews
1 tsp cumin seeds
3 tbsp olive oil
Here is what I did:
I took a pan and put it on the stove on medium heat
I added 3 tbsp of olive oil
I let the oil heat
I added cumin seeds and let them sizzle
I added cashews and let them brown a bit
I added okra and sauteed gently for 3-4 minutes until the okra is coated with olive oil
I took the okra out into a microwave safe bowl and put it in the microwave oven for 8-9 minutes
When done, I took the okra out of the microwave oven and let it sit for a minute
I added the okra back into the pan
I sauteed gently for 5-6 minutes
I added salt, turmeric and chili powder
I sauteed gently until the okra are all dry and ready. This took another 5-6 minutes
When perfectly done the okra shouldn’t stick to each other
Enjoy
