Heat the oil in a heavy-based casserole, add the onion and tomatoes and soften for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika and salt to taste and pour in the water.

Add 750 g (1 1/2 lb) trimmed whole okra and 4 crushed garlic cloves and fry for a further 1 minute.

Step 6

Stir in 750 g (1 72 lb) peeled and chopped tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of sugar and simmer over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and the sauce has reduced.
