Step 1

Heat the Vegetable Oil (2 Tbsp) on medium heat and toss in Onion (1) and Garlic (3 cloves) . Turn the heat down to low and let that cook for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Now add Madras Curry Powder (1 Tbsp) and Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch) . The heat should still be on low for 3 minutes to toast the curry powder to release its flavors and not burn the curry. It should smell that lovely curry aroma.

Step 3

Add the Red Bird's Eye Chili Pepper (2) and Pimiento Pepper (1) and stir.

Step 4

Turn up the heat to medium and start adding the Okra (4 1/2 cups) to the pot. The idea is to stir-fry the okra in the curry base.

Step 5

Let it cook for about 15 minutes. Then add Salt (1/4 tsp) near the end of cooking so it does not develop moisture and give it a final stir.

Step 6

Serve warm and enjoy.
