Chick Pea and Okra Curry

Okra (Lady fingers) is not very much used for cooking in many families, including mine. I think it's time to change that. This is a very nice tasting, easy, exotic, vegetarian dish. Perfect for meatless Mondays! Ingredients: 2-3 tbs oil 2 medium onions, sliced 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed 1 tsp turmeric 1,5 tbs Garam Masala 1 chilli, sliced 500 g Okra (small-ones) fresh, canned or frozen 1 can chick peas, drained 2-3 large tomatoes, diced 2-4 tbs thick yogurt, or sour cream salt to taste coriander leaves to sprinkle (optional) Method: Heat oil, fry onion until translucent; add garlic, spices, chilli, okra and chick peas . Stir well, add tomatoes and yogurt. Bring to boil, cook for 15-20 minutes. Season according to your taste; sprinkle with coriander. Serve with rice.
