Cook's Notes
I didnt know how to edit my earlier review so am posting another one. I also add grated ginger and garlic to this. In order to avoid the hassle of trimming and chopping okra, I use frozen okra. I microwave it for about 5-7 minutes before adding it. I cut down the amount of oil and used a mixture of half vegetable oil and half ghee, for a lovely buttery flavour.
