ingredients
- 1 lb okra pods, no more than 4 inch in length
- 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin seed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 1 -2 medium tomatoes, diced
directions
- Wash okra and carefully remove the stem taking care not to cut into the pod. Cutting into the pod will cause the okra to release the sticky juices which will have an affect on the finished dish.
- Combine the turmeric through coriander and set aside. In a heavy skillet heat the oil and add in the cumin and black mustard seeds. Fry for about 2 minutes or until the seeds begin to sputter. Scrape in the reserved spice mixture and fry for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add in okra, tossing to coat with spices. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 10 minutes or until tender. Turn off heat and stir in diced tomatoes, serve.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
