OKRA WITH CORIANDER AND TOMATO SAUCE
Not many people know this, but Okra is a vegetable native to Africa and later introduced to the Middle East and Arabian countries by the slave traders. Lots of people are wary of okra because of the texture and "slime", factor, but you can minimize this by keeping okra whole and not overcooking it. I love okra!!!

nana.arkoh@yahoo.comThis okra dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some additional spices and it was much better. The okra was cooked well, but I would have preferred it to be a bit crispier.
