Ingredients

• 500 grams of okra, washed and trimmed
• 300 grams of meat (beef or lamb), cut into pieces
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
• Water, as needed
• Fresh coriander, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the meat pieces to the pot. Season with salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Cook until the meat starts to brown on all sides.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes and ground coriander. Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
5. Pour in enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 40 minutes, or until the meat is tender.
6. Carefully add the okra to the pot, and mix gently. Let it cook for another 15-20 minutes until the okra is tender but not mushy.
