Method:

Heat the oil in a kadai or heavy saucepan and fry the onion until soft.

Add the green pepper and continue to fry for a couple of minutes, then tip in the okra and stir well. Add the tomatoes, spice powders, salt and lemon juice and mix well.

Allow to cook on low heat, stirring frequently to keep the mixture from sticking, until the okra is tender. It will change from being slimy to quite firm.

Serve hot, sprinkled with the chopped coriander leaves.
