Sarwars' Bhendi(Fried Okra) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. oil
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into slices
1 tsp. salt
1 lb. okra or 2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen okra, defrosted
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. black pepper

Preparation

Wash the fresh okra under cold running water and with a small sharp knife, scrape skin to remove fuzz on surface (frozen needs only to be defrosted and drained).
Pat dry with paper towels.
In a heavy 10 to 12-inch skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
Add the onion and salt and stir for 7 or 8 minutes, or until brown. Add okra, cumin and pepper and continue to fry, stirring constantly, for 25 minutes or until okra is tender and liquid is gone.
(Frozen okra will be sticky.
Cook longer to dry up liquid.) Serves 4.
