Ingredients:
Okra: 8-10 pods
Honey
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil: 1-2 tbsp
Water: 2-3 tbsp
Preparation:
Wash and dry okra in papertowels.Top and tail it and then cut it into bite size pieces.
Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan and add okra pieces and saute for a few minutes.Add salt,honey,pepper and barely 3 tbsp water and cook till the liquid is almost evaporated.Few drops of liquid or rather honey will be there anyway coating the okra pieces.Serve as a side dish or snack as you like.
The dish is sweet from honey and spicy/sourish from pepper.You can increase or decrease each as you like.This is basically a sweet and spicy stirfry and since the pepper also adds a bit of sourness the name is "sweet and sour".Given a chance I would call it "sweet and spicy". Its a nice change from the usual okra stifry or spicy stews.
The dish also is a part of the BSI:Okra menu at Priya's.Do checkout the healthbenefits of okra there.
