Okra Masala is a perfect dish for a vegetarian meal with rice or flat bread. This lightly spiced Okra Masala is great on its own.
If you never cooked Indian food before, this is a nice recipe to start with. It comes together quickly, leave room for slight adaptations and taste absolutely delicious.
Spices are always a matter of individual taste. Start with the ones in this recipe and adapt to suit yourselves especially the chili powder.
If you are lucky to find this versatile vegetable fresh, make sure to select the smallest and firmest pods. If okra pod gets too long, it often becomes hard to eat.
