Instructions
-
Prepare the Okra: Wash and slice the okra. If you prefer less sliminess, you can blanch the okra in boiling water for a few minutes and then drain.
-
Cook the Sauce: Heat the red palm oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
-
Add Tomatoes and Spices: Add the chopped tomatoes, green chilies, ground ginger, ground garlic, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture is well combined.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the sliced okra to the pot and stir to combine. Add enough water to cover the okra and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens.
-
Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt.
-
Serving: Serve the Okro Stew with Banku, Fufu, or steamed rice.
