Spicy Okra Curry in a hurry

Jump to Recipe

I love cooking Okra as it’s such a fast vegetable to cook. I have always cooked okra as a spicy curry without adding any water or tomatoes to it.  Lately, quite a few friends have been sharing their tips on making the okra curry and adding tomatoes to the curry at the end to give it the curry moisture and a different taste.  I made it by adding passata, at the end, for the first time and really enjoyed the taste.

Okra Curry taste delicious with chapati, an Indian bread with butter or Flora Plant B+ttere or any other bread.
