Sautéed Lady's Finger with Caramelized Red Onion: A Flavorful Twist
Ingredients:
- 500g lady's finger (okra), washed and trimmed
- 2 large red onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced red onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and begin to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes. If they start to brown too quickly, lower the heat.
2. Once the onions are caramelized and golden brown, add the minced garlic and cumin seeds. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and add the lady's finger. Stir well to coat them in the onion and garlic mixture.
4. Sprinkle the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and additional salt to taste. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the lady's finger is tender but still vibrant green, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Once the lady's finger is cooked, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, stirring gently to combine.
6. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.
7. Serve warm as a side dish or with flatbread or rice.
