STUFFED OKRA

Preparation Method :

• Wash the okra and dry on kitchen paper. Carefully trim off the tops without making a hole.
• Using a sharp knife, make a slit lengthways in the centre of each okra but do not cut all the way through.
• In a bowl, mix the mango powder, ginger, cumin, chilli if using, turmeric, and salt with a few drops of oil. Leave the mixture to rest for 1 - 2 hours.
• Using your fingers, part the slit of each okra carefully and fill each with as much of the spice filling as possible.
• Put all the okra into the plastic bag with the corn flour and shake the bag carefully to coat the okra evenly.
• Fill a frying pan with enough oil to sit 2.5 cm / 1 inch deep, heat it.
• Fry the okra in small batches for about 5 - 8 minutes, or until they are brown and slightly crisp. Serve hot.
