3. Heat the remaining oil in the frypan and add the onion. When it has softened, add the garlic and fry for 3-4 mins. Add the spices, then cook, stirring occasionally. If it starts to stick, add a splash of water.

4. Add the chilli and tomato purée, okra, and potatoes, stirring to coat evenly. Add the stock and simmer for 15 mins. Season with salt and pepper, add a squeeze of lemon juice, and garnish with fresh coriander.
