Here rain was there to spoil the holidays as usual.....But luckily , spared a few days in between when sun was there to let us have some fun and a few outings too......So on the whole it wasn't bad...







Ingredients

Okra                                       -    10 Nos
Onion                                     -      2 [ chopped ]
Green chillie                          -     1 [ large, chopped ]
Oil                                           -     1 Tbsp
Mustard seeds                      -     1/2 tsp
Curry leaves                         -      1 sprig
Salt                                         -       3/4 tsp
Pepper Powder                    -      1 tsp
Preparation


Wash the Okra. Chop off the head and tail portions and then slice them thinly.
Heat oil in a non- stick pan [Non stick pan helps in preventing the okra from sticking on to the sides].
Once it is hot , add mustard seeds and allow them to sputter. 
Now add curry leaves followed by the chopped okra , onion and green chillie.
Add salt and stir them until the okra becomes soft. Take care not to break them just to keep its beauty.
Finally add the pepper powder and stir until all well combined.
Switch off the heat and the Okra Stir Fry is ready to be served.
