Okra and Red Bellpepper Stir fry

A simple stir fry to go with lunch, that is what this is. I like the green and red color combination too. This recipe is so easy to put together and its tasty with full of goodness!

Ingredients:
Okra - round 2 cups , chopped as shown in the pictures below
Red bell pepper - 1 big
Onion -  3-4 tablespoons, fine chopped
Turmeric powder -1/4 teaspoon
Chilli powder - 1/2 teaspoon (or adjust according to taste)
Oil - 1 tablespoon
Salt - to taste

Heat oil in a pan, and add the onions, fry them until translucent. Add in all the powders and fry for another minute. Next, add chopped bell pepper and fry for a minute or two. Following that add all of the okra, along with salt. Cover and cook in medium heat for 5 minutes. You will see that the okra starts to become slimy. Mix thoroughly, cover and cook again for sometime, that is until the slimy texture goes away. Increase the heat a tad, and keep stirring. You will see the mixture starts to get dry. If you are really good with stirring, do it at high heat. But chances of your stir fry getting burnt is high, so I recommend stirring at medium high heat, paying attention. Once its gets to your desired dryness (around 10-12 minutes), switch of the heat and you are good to go.




Serve hot with rice, or quinoa. It is so good!

Cheers,
Anjana
