heat oil in saucepan and simmer onion and garlic about five minutes. add tamarind, fish sauce, sugar, salt, cumin, vegetable broth, lemongrass, black peppercorns. reduce heat to med-low and simmer 20 minutes. remove aromatics.

Looks fab to me Jason, that okra is gorgeous quality, best Ive seen!

Something I picked up in Asia, I use fresh tomatoes and put them individually in a M&P and pound once or twice so they are open and bruised.
Flavor is better than canned.
I would love to eat at your house someday.

Yes, that was a blatant hint!

Looks and sounds great! I've never tried sour fish soup but love what Vietnamese food I've tasted. Your soup looks excellent!
