Preheat the saucepan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Introduce minced garlic, sliced onion, and chopped green bell pepper into the pan, then cook until they become tender.
2
Add sliced okra, button mushrooms, diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato paste, ground cumin powder, dried bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pan.

In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat and constantly stir in flour.

Cook the mixture for 2 to 5 minutes, until it reaches a golden brown color and has developed a nutty aroma.
