Sauteed okra with cauliflower

This is another Ayurvedic recipe: I added the cauliflower as I had some that needed to be eaten before we went away. Either way is delicious. But be careful to cook the fenugreek seeds properly otherwise they can be bitter.

440 g/1 lb fresh okra, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
handful of cauliflower florets, cut into very small pieces
2-3 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
1/2 tsp fresh or powdered turmeric
1/4 tsp asafetida
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp coriander powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cumin

Heat the oil in a wok and add fenugreek seeds. Fry unit they become aromatic and brown; add turmeric, salt, asafetida and vegetables. Cover and steam for 10 minutes or so until soft, but still crunchy. You may need to add a splash of water to prevent it sticking. When cooked add rest of the ingredients and serve with rice or Trishodic dhal
