Turmeric is definitely a spice that I have used more often now, because of my likes all around Indian food. Remember
Spicy Green Beans,
Spicy Green Beans with Carrots,
Cabbage Curry and
Curried Potato and Mushrooms? Love them with turmeric! And for
Think Spice event, hosted at
Bengali Cuisine in November, I have this easy tomato okra recipe that makes use of spices such as turmeric, cumin and black pepper. Turmeric has touted health benefits too.
Ingredients: - 3 gloves garlic, minced
- 3 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 medium-sized tomato
- okra, sliced into cubes
- salt, to taste
- 1/4 tsp of ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp of turmeric
- 1 tsp curry powder
- ground black pepper, to taste
Directions: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan. Add garlic and shallots and saute till fragrant. Add tomatoes and okra, mix well; add cumin turmeric, curry powder, then some water, and allow it to simmer at low heat for 10-15 minutes. When mixture(okra) start to turn tender, add salt and black pepper to taste and continue to simmer till gravy is mostly absorbed into the okra. Serve with steamed rice.

I love okra in soups!
You say Okra, I read Orka. :P
Looks lovely! I'll have to try this one of the days if I can get the ingredients.
Fried okra is the best. Cut the okra in to smaller slices like your maybe thinner, fry it in oil..shallow oil in a pan, and then when they start to crisp up, add a little salt, turmeric and cayenne. My fav okra =).
I want some canh chua with okra and fresh seafood right now.
oh my god i would SOOOOO eat that and now feel guilty afterwards!
I love turmeric :D but I despise okra.
