Okra with tomato and spices

Chow-chow down down
This is the sort of condiment that revolutionizes my life. It combines a heap of my favourite vegetables in a witch’s cauldron and after a few low mutterings of some kind of voodoo type black magic (or possibly it was just the ramblings of a boozed up and disheveled old carnie… or even more possibly…
