Another okra-cooking breakthrough! My wife is a good cook, and she likes to experiment. We're eating so much okra now, she's looking for new ways to prepare it - so I found this video on the Internet:

Now, we're not big on Indian spices - but the procedure is the thing here. The lady in the video is a great cook, and sure enough - if you wash okra and let it dry, then cut off both ends, split the pods longways, and stir-fry them with a little oil, THEY'RE NOT SLIMY. That exposes the inside of the whole pod to the heat in the frying pan, and it dries up the goo! Okra is a real important veggie in India - they know how to fix it.

My wife used the same process as in the video, but she says she cut the spices down to a little turmeric, a little thyme, a little chile powder, salt and pepper, and she fried the okra with chopped sweet peppers from the garden. This was GOOD!
