Ingredients

  • 1 lbs Okra 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp Black pepper coarsely ground
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp Oil

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a wide non-stick pan and fry the cut okra (quarter inch long pieces) along with salt in medium heat. 

  2. When about 25% of the frying is completed (after about 4 mins), add half of the coarsely ground black pepper powder) and continue frying the okra tossing the contents every now and then.

  3. When about 75% of the cooking is done (after about 10 mins or so), add the remaining black pepper powder and continue frying.  Taste and adjust salt if required.

  4. Stop frying when the dish is fully cooked (after about 2/3 mins) and the okra pieces still look green!

  5. Serve hot with dal, sambar, rasam or as a side dish for rotis.  Or just mix with plain rice and some homemade ghee and enjoy!
