Preparation:

Wipe the okra pods with a damp cloth. Do not wash them, as this will make them sticky. Cut off and discard the ends. Slice the pods into 1/2-inch pieces. Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the cumin, and cook for a few minutes, until lighlty toasted. Put in the okra and stir frequently until lighlty browned. Add the onion and green chili and cook for 7 minutes, stirring well. Put in the tomato, salt, cayenne, and turmeric and stir until well blended and heated through. Garnish with cilantro.
