- 1¾ cups of water divided
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions

- Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water, then pour the blended okro and iru mix into the boiling water.
- Stir, and allow to boil for about a minute leaving the pot open.
- After about a minute, reduce heat to a simmer allow simmer for another minute then turn off heat.

Notes
- For a more coarse texture, use a food processor to blend okro.
- Do not add water. Blend okro to the level of coarseness you prefer, then continue with step 4 above, bearing in mind that you will need to add more water in the cooking stage.
- Some people like their iru whole. if you like yours whole too, then do not blend it with the okro, instead add it to the pot of water before bringing water to a boil.
