Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

Okra has a reputation for becoming gelatinous in stews or curries, but in this oven-roasted dish it keeps its form perfectly. Serve this warming curry with rice and vegan yogurt.

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, roughly chopped
250g okra
1 heaped tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp chilli powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp sea salt
1 x 400g tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cloves of garlic, grated
1cm ginger, grated
1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
200ml water
½ lemon, juice only

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan/220°C/ gas 7

Mix the oil, onion, okra, spices, salt and chickpeas in a roasting tin, then transfer to the oven and roast for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the garlic, ginger, tomatoes and water together and set aside.

Once the okra has had 20 minutes in the oven, add the spiced tomato water, stir, then return to the oven and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Taste and season as needed with salt and the lemon juice. Scatter over the flaked almonds and coriander and serve hot with rice and yogurt.
