If you like it hot, use as many of the hot chilies as you like, or leave them out. With some grilled chicken or fish or shrimp, makes a very nice meal. Cooking time does not include defrosting time if you have to use frozen okra.

The okra was cooked perfectly - tender but still slightly crunchy.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover okra. I added some chopped bell pepper and zucchini, and it was even better!

Easy to follow recipe, even for a beginner like me. The curry was a bit spicy for my taste, but I'll definitely make it again with less chili powder.
