ABOUT Okra Stir Fry with Garlic & Puffed Rice RECIPE

Okra sauteed with Garlic is a super quick recipe that takes very little time to dish out. I went on an adventurous trip and so decided - why not add some puffed rice. The end result was very delicious. I finished it off with lots of chopped coriander leaves and a garnish of coarsely ground roasted peanuts. Enjoy this stir fry as a side dish with either dal-chawal (rice-lentil combo) or with chapattis.

Instructions

Heat oil in a pan and temper with cumin seeds. After it stops spluttering, add the chopped okra and saute for a minute on low flame.
