This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The okra was cooked well and the curry sauce was flavorful. I think next time I'll use less chili powder or cayenne pepper.
