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.

Freezing Okra

August 5, 2012 by lamyaalmas


Oftentimes when I go to the Masjed for Taraweeh or to deliver a Halaqa I come home with a bag of Okra. Seems like everybody in Montgomery/AL has an Okra garden, and hence plenty to share. I cut these up into 3 different ways–circles, match stick, and some I just left as whole but cut out the ends. I will be freezing them insha Allah for upcoming dishes. So insha Allah watch out for those dishes soon.
