CUMIN-SPICED OKRA AND TOMATOES
Okra and tomatoes are a classic combo. This is a delicious, spicy variation that's really easy to make. I made this often in college and turned my okra-skeptical roommate into a fan. I like this served over brown rice, but it's also great thinned out into a stew.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium heat.
- Saute onion for a few minutes until it begins to soften.
- Add garlic, jalapeno, and cumin and cook 1-2 minutes longer. Don't brown the garlic or it will get bitter.
- Add okra, tomatoes, and tomato juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
- You can add water to make a soupier dish, or leave it fairly dry. I add 1/4-1/2 cup.
- Cover and cook 5-10 minutes. Okra should soften and the juices will become quite thick.

SPICED OKRA WITH TOMATOES RECIPE
Steps:
- For the Spice Mixture : Combine cumin, coriander, cardamom (if using), and dried habanero (if using) in a small saucepan and set over medium heat. Toast spices until fragrant, about 2 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove cardamom pods, then place remaining spices in spice grinder or mortar. Using fingers, crack open cardamom pods and remove seeds contained within; discard hull. Add cardamom seeds to other spices. Using spice grinder or mortar and pestle, grind spices to fine powder. Set aside.
- For the Okra : Heat canola oil in Dutch oven or 3-quart saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until onions are golden and just starting to brown, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste, stir and cook until paste has colored the contents of the pot a reddish-brown, about 1 minute. Mound onions, ginger, and garlic in center of pot and add spice mixture directly on top (this is to guard against scorching the spices). Stir together, then cook until spices are bloomed and mixture is very fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add water and stir, scraping bottom of pot with wooden spoon to dislodge any stuck-on bits. Add tomato sauce and okra and stir to break up frozen okra. (Okra pieces should be just submerged in the liquid; if not, add more water to cover them). Bring contents of pot to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until okra is tender, most of excess liquid has cooked off, and okra is thickly coated in sauce, 10-15 minutes. Top with cilantro and serve immediately as part of a larger meal with rice or paratha , passing lime wedges alongside.

Tips:
- Choose tender okra: Look for okra pods that are small, firm, and have a deep green color. Avoid pods that are large, woody, or have blemishes.
- Slice okra evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking okra, it's important to give the pods enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the okra will steam instead of brown.
- Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help prevent the okra from sticking.
- Don't overcook the okra: Overcooked okra is slimy and mushy. Cook it just until it is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and spices: Tomatoes and spices add flavor and depth to the dish. Add them to the pan along with the okra and cook until the tomatoes are softened and the spices are fragrant.
- Serve hot: Cumin-spiced okra and tomatoes is best served hot. Enjoy it with rice, quinoa, or your favorite bread.
Conclusion:
Cumin-spiced okra and tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The okra is tender and flavorful, and the tomatoes and spices add a nice depth of flavor. Serve it with rice, quinoa, or your favorite bread for a complete meal.
