14 ounces young fresh okra
7 garlic cloves, peeled and roughly chopped
1 whole dried hot red chili pepper (or less if you prefer it mild)
9 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
3 -4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon whole cumin seed

Rinse the okra, pat it dry with paper towels, trim the ends, and slice into 3/4 inch lengths.

Place the garlic, chilli and 4 tablespoons water into an electric blender and blend until a smooth paste forms.
3
Transfer the paste to a small bowl and add the ground cumin, coriander and turmerc and mix well.

Heat the vegetable oil in a 9-inch skillet, then add the whole cumin seeds. Once they sizzle (take care, as they easily burn), reduce the heat and pour in the spice mixture from the small bowl. Saute and for about a minute.
