NACHO PIES???!
(Okra is a bit like a softer pepper mixed with COURGETTES I think. I don't mind the sliminess but I don't like the stringy bits. I've never had an okra bhaji though, I think that might be rather nice, but frankly when it's taking Starter Sides: the bhaji is always gunna lose out to yer prawn poori).

My roommate constantly makes this one meal of pan-fried pork chops and stewed tomatoes & okra w/ spices. It's a good thing it tastes gooder than fuck, otherwise I would be getting tired of the repetition.

I'm fine with that as long as you don't make me look at websites with human geysers on them, Dan.

Hahaha oh no! I shouldn't assume that everyone knows about poor ol' Tubgirl.
(I don't feel bad talking about Tubgirl on this thread because I feel about her about the same way I feel about okra.)

okra is amazing dried and salted.
― polyphonic, Friday, 29 August 2014 19:40 (nine years ago) link
^^ that sounds v interesting! where have you found your supply of dried, salted okra?
― Aimless, Friday, 29 August 2014 19:53 (nine years ago) link
okra doesn't need to be slimy; don't wash it, treat it like a mushroom with damp kitchen roll, if at all.
Fry an onion with cumin seeds and asofetida, if you can get it, add the okra after a few minutes and fry high fast for five minutes. You can then either then add a little tomato and coriander or mint and yoghurt. Some red chilli at the end would be nice. YUMM!

i've been told that amchur (dried mango) powder helps with the sliminess when you cook it.
― marcos, Friday, 29 August 2014 20:33 (nine years ago) link
a couple years back, we were signed up for a veggie box, and during the summer started getting a big bag of okra each week. That stuff gets old real quick. Only so many ways to cook it without it tasting all slimy. Pretty much drove us to give up on the veggie box.
