Just a Tsp?

If you have not visited this this website, go take a look. They have a wonderful array of spices and what is great is that you don't have to buy a spice rack to store the spices. The spices are fresh in their little sachets. I own the Spice Basics collections which can be used in Indian cooking. And still better, they are all organic.

I have never smelt turmeric so fresh other than the real deal. And that holds true for all the other spices as well. I wanted to make a recipe that uses all of the spices.

Okra - 1 lb (cut in thin long strips)
Chilli Pepper - 2 tsp
Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
Cumin powder - 1 tsp
Fennel - 1 tsp
Ginger Powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric - 1 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a small bowl, add all the spices, salt and oil together and mix well, such that they are well incorporated.
  • Coat the spices mixture evenly over the okra.
  • Grease a baking tray with cooking spray and lay the okra in the tray and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve with rotis.
Verdict: The taste was simply superb, I would add a dash of lime juice after taking it out of the oven.
