  • 1/2 ts Turmeric
  • 1 tb Ground almonds
  • 1/2 tb Lemon juice
  • 5 tb Ghee
  • 1/2 ts Salt

 Directions

Slice the stems off the okra & the very tip at the other end. Slit each pod

pods completely in half.

Combine the crushed coriander, cumin & fennel seeds with the balck pepper,
garam masala, cayenne, asafetida, almonds, lemon juice & 2 tb of ghee.
Blend well, using your fingers if necessary till you have a dry oatmeal
type texture.

Using a butter knife, put about a 1/4 ts of the stuffing into each okra
pod, then press the edges closed & set aside covered till you are ready to
cook.

Place the rest of the ghee in a large skillet & heat till hot. Add the
stuffed okra pods & spread out in one layer. Keeping the heat moderate,
cook for 5 minutes, covered. Gently turn the okra to ensure even cooking.
Continue this for 20 to 25 minutes or until the okra is completely cooked.

Place the okra on paper towels & toss with salt. Serve piping hot.
