I really like okra and tried something simple with it recently. I took frozen chopped okra, fried it up. Then I fried up some thinly sliced onions, added tomatoes, salt, pepper, red pepper, haldthi, I mixed it all together and …ate it.
It was good. So i was wondering what else I could do with okra? I could add it to goshth salan. But are there any other vegetables that can be mixed with okra or is it better on its own? Anyone know any other simple okra recipes?

Frozen Okra yikes
thats horrible, it'll end up giving out water when you cook.
Here's my very old recipe
thinly cut okra and fry it to get the lais out
golden brown diced onions and namak, mirch haldi sabut dhania, sabut zeera, sabut lal mirch and fresh kari pata, add tomatoes and okra at the end.
just takes five minutes to cook.
Biharis cook okra with meat, looks like tadpoles swimming in the salan.
Re: What can I do with okra?
Try stuffed okra... I don't have a recipe but I am sure you'll find some online.
I love this recipe of okra in yogurt...
Fry mustard, asafetida, curry leaves, and okra in oil, until okra turns brown. Add salt and mix this with yogurt. Don't leave it in the fridge for too long as it becomes a think gelatinous mess...
Re: What can I do with okra?
I love okra in mutton. Cook mutton like you normally would bhunna huwa gosht with a little extra tomatoes in it. It should have very little liquid in it once its done. When done add cut, fried okra to it and cook for about 5 mins. Really yum.
Re: What can I do with okra?
^ noted. Do you recommend fresh, or frozen okra would do?
Everytime I eat okra, I get a stomach upset. What can I do to prevent?
Re: What can I do with okra?
Fried Okra with boneless beef or mutton is the best.
FG, try some lemon with it.
Re: What can I do with okra?
Fresh FG. Okra is always best fresh. The extra tomatoes make it a little sour as is but if you it more sour then sure go with lemon on it.
Re: What can I do with okra?
or some mind/coriander lemon chutney.. it helps in digestion..
Re: What can I do with okra?
I have been experimenting with Okra as well. I only used to make fried okra with tomatoes and lemon. It tastes excellent. But now i am trying other recipes. Here is a good Web site i found.
Re: What can I do with okra?
I wouldn't recommend using frozen Okra. Okra has very mild fragnance and if you are using frozen, it will make a big difference in food taste compare to using fresh Okra.
Re: What can I do with okra?

Gumbo.
Re: What can I do with okra?
I love okra too. To help with the water problems my Mom would dry them out first by cutting them up and putting them in the oven for awhile before cooking them. It takes away that slimy texture.
Re: What can I do with okra?
well i like that idea
Re: What can I do with okra?
I actually looked for File(fee-lay) powder to make Gumbo....and none of these ****ty stores carry that here. So i ended up making it without it. I was trying to make Luisiana style okra.
Re: What can I do with okra?
speaking of bhindi gosht, chiqander gosht is my all-time favourite ever.
Re: What can I do with okra?
Wow, thanks everyone for the ideas and recipes. I'm going to try some as soon as I buy fresh okra. And Jal thanks for the link. The dish called Bamya (Egyptian okra stew) sounds good. I agree that okra with lamb is the best. Somehow mixing okra with other veggies just doesn't sound right. It seems to stand alone.

mm mm mmmm
Re: What can I do with okra?
