 Wash okra in a bowl of lukewarm water, and remove all the
 moisture using paper towels, it should be dry to cut.
 Chop okra ringwise 1/2 inch thickness.
 Chop 2 + 3 +  5 into very small pieces.
 Place a pan with item 7, when it starts heating up, add
 item 8, so that they split up, add chopped onions, fry
 till golden brown, add chopped okra, fry till dark brown,
 add chopped tomato, fry till water slowly disappears.All
 this cooking should be done on med-high. then add 5 + 6 + 9
 + 4 and very little bit of water, and 10, cook for atleast 15 -20 mins.
 if you like you can add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar.
 This recipe is really very nice goes well with cooked white
 rice and little bit of butter. there is no question of slimy
 thing. the trick is you got fry deep brown, dont care if
 one or two becomes black, it really adds to the taste!!!
