Okra Curry

Okra Curry is a spicy, savory dish that originated in India. It is made with fresh okra and a variety of spices and herbs, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric and chili, and is often served with rice or naan bread. This dish is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, as okra is high in fiber and vitamins. The dish can be served both hot and cold, and is a great accompaniment to many other Indian dishes.
