OKRA CURRY

OKRA |BHINDI |CURRY
Okra in a curry!! Yes, this is what questioned to myself when I saw the post of my G+ friend because I never had okra in curry. It was my intuitive perception that Okra cannot be cooked in curry as it will become slimy until and unless I cooked it myself and more importantly I tasted before placing it on my dining table for dinner. The curry was toooo......yummm with more demand but opps I made such a small batch! Anyways, thank you my g+ friend for introducing me to such a lovely vegetable which is so simple yet too delicious.
