Serves 2, or 4, with other dishes, as part of a curry meal.
1 Saute the onion in a medium saucepan for 5 minutes, then add the okra,
salt, cumin seeds and ground coriander. Mix well,then cook gently,
uncovered, for 5 minutes.
2 Add the water; then simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, until the okra is
tender and most of the water has been absorbed. Shake the pan or stir from
time to time to prevent sticking.
3 Add the tomatoes, check the seasoning, and sprinkle with the chopped
fresh coriander. Serve hot or warm. (Its also pleasant cold, garnished
with a slice of lemon and chopped parsley.)
