Step 1

Put the bulgar wheat in a bowl, add enough boiling water to cover it by 1cm, cover with a plate and leave for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, fry the okra in a little oil and as it softens, add the garlic and stir, followed by the tomatoes. Simmer everything for 5 minutes and then add the kalonji and season well.
