Fried Matchstick Okra

August 11, 2012 by lamyaalmas

Love these with fish kebab sauce on a bed of rice. You will need:

1) 1 cup of okra cut into thin strips [see here].

2) 2 tbslp of bisbas [red chilly sauce]

3) 1/2 tsp of ground cumin

4) 1/2 tsp of ground coriander

5) salt to taste

6) 1/2 tsp of tomato paste

7) 4 tblsp of olive oil of olive oil

Mix all the ingredients together except the olive oil. Then in a pan under medium high heat heat the olive oil and fry the okra until nice and crispy. Be careful it doesn’t burn. So just enough for it to turn crispy. Serve warm as a side to you favorite dish–as I said I like this with fish kebab sauce on a bed of rice cooked with lentils.

  Next time let them get crispy in the oil ( careful they don’t burn) and let drain on a paper towel. That way they won’t br greasy insha Allah.

This looks delicious! I love okra but never know what to do with it except to make bamia. Do you need to wait until the oil gets to a certain temperature like for deep frying? Thanks for sharing.

  How do you make your Bamia Julie?
  You need to wait just a little for it to get hot. Just so that when you put the Bamia in it sizzles right away.
  Hope that helps.

Thanks, that does help :) I make my bamia Iraqi-style- okra in a tomato/lamb broth base with cubed lamb. I’ll have to put the recipe on my blog soon inshAllah.
