The following recipe is from cookbook author Julie Sahni. Serve over scrambled eggs, a rice pilaf or, American-style, in pita bread with lots of sliced tomatoes. 1. Fry okra, onion in oil, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. If

okra looks dry, add 3 tablespoons water and/or cover the pan during cooking. 2. When vegetables are soft, stir in lemon juice. Lower heat and

sprinkle on cumin, fennel, cayenne and salt. Stir-fry mixture for 2 minutes, or until flavors are blended.
