Fried Okra With Onion

Cut away and discard the knobby stems of the okra. Slice across into 1/8-inch round slices and set aside.

Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Add onion and saute for 2 minutes.

Stir in turmeric. Add okra and lower heat slightly. Cook uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes or until the okra is just tender, shaking the pan occasionally.

The sticky substance, which will be visible during cooking, will disappear by the time okra is cooked. Serve hot.
