Masala Stuffed Okra

Ingredients

• 300g okra
• coriander seeds
• 2 medium sized onion, sliced
• 1 tsp coriander seeds
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

* Spices for stuffing:

• 1 tsp red chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp roasted cumin powder
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp mango powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1-1/2 tsp coriander powder
• 1-1/2 tsp fennel seeds powder
• 2 tsp salt

Method
- Wash the okras and let them dry. Make a long slit and spare 1/2 inch from each end. Keep aside.
- In a small bowl, mix all the spices together. Use a teaspoon to stuff the mixture into the okras. For each okra, we need about 1/4 tsp of the mixture. Keep the leftover spices mix for cooking later.
- Heat oil in a wok over medium flame, add coriander seeds and onions, saute the onions till just translucent then add the remaining spices, fry it for a minute then add the okras. Stir fry them over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, then cover the wok and cook over low heat for around 8-10 minutes. No need to add any water. Check and stir the okras sometimes to make sure they don't stick to the bottom of the wok.
- Serve hot.
