7 Reviews of Curried Okra

My husband and I are both big fans of the Indian Bindi masala, so I was very pleased to see this offered among the selections for ZWT4. It is nice to see something fairly low carb and decidedly different. I would suggest to anyone who is unsure about okra to try it this way and see how they like it. This recipe is not slimy at all- the salt soak does seem to help with that and is different from the way I have learned (browning off okra nicely). The spices in this seem a little imbalanced to my palate- heavy on the red pepper and too light on the curry flavors. I don't mind the spicy at all, but it seemed to overpower the other spices. I would suggest adding some cumin seed and ground coriander to this along with a pinch of garam masala. I did want to mention that I made this with French Tart's recipe for (Bo-Kaap Cape Malay Curry Powder - South African Spice Mixture) which is very good for a curry powder if you are out. I keep a regular supply of curry powders and FT's recipe stood shoulder to shoulder with those. But, back to the recipe, I would also cut back the oil (I am not worried about it not being low fat but it left a film of oil in my mouth). Otherwise this is quite wonderful and think it would be exceptional with grilled meats in the summertime and some type of flatbread on the side, preferably whole grain. Thanks for posting!

I only made half this amount for my DH and myself as my kids won't eat okra yet (but I'm still trying!). We really enjoyed the spicy taste.

We loved this! A delightful and different way to prepare fresh garden okra. I did increase the amount of curry powder and used red pepper flakes for the pepper. Due to time constraints, I soaked the okra for a little over an hour. Made for Family Picks ZWT 4

5 stars all the way! My boys and I devoured this dish. It is our 2nd favorite way to make okra (after frying). This was wonderful and spicy and not sticky at all. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yum. I only soaked for like 30 minutes, but it came out great! It was definitely slimey at first, but I cooked it down for probably 15 minutes and it perfectly done at the end. Good flavor, and super easy.

I love this recipe! I was looking for a recipe where the okra was not fried because my husband hates fried foods. The spice was perfect for him too because he loves spicy foods. I will definitely make this again!
