Method

In a large saucepan or frying pan heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Fry the garlic until it begins to colour, then add the okra and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the cinnamon, pomegranate molasses, water and coriander and warm through. Season well.
