I'm allergic to okra, so I had to make some substitutions. I used zucchini instead of okra, and it turned out great! The pilau was still flavorful and delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my okra pilau turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water, or maybe I didn't add enough spices.

This recipe was a disaster! The okra was slimy and the rice was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

Okra pilau is a fantastic dish! The okra was perfectly cooked - soft and slimy, just the way I like it. The rice was fluffy and flavorful. I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and peas, and it turned out great.
