I didnt know how to edit my earlier review so am posting another one. I also add grated ginger and garlic to this. Inorder to avoid the hassle of trimming and chopping okra, I use frozen okra. I microwave it for about 5-7 minutes before adding it.

I adore okra, I adore this recipe, and I adore Grovinchicken for posting it. Superb flavor. The most unusual okra recipe in my collection and maybe, the best.

This is a 6 star recipe. This dish is so simple to make, yet tastes soooooo good. Even though I was out of coriander and lemons for the garnish (shame on me), the okra still looked really impressive, especially as it does keep its colour. I cut down the amount of oil and used a mixture of half vegetable oil and half ghee, for a lovely buttery flavour. To date, this is the best okra recipe I've ever had and I'll definately be making this again.
