Product Details
Fresh okra (lady fingers), 1kg — a staple of Indian, African and Caribbean cooking, prized for its firm texture and mild, earthy flavour.
What you get: a 1kg pack of fresh okra pods, ready to cook.
How to Use Okra
Okra works best cooked hot and fast, or slow-simmered in a liquid — both approaches avoid the sliminess some people associate with okra:
- Bhindi masala: sliced and stir-fried with onion, tomato and spices
- Gumbo: the classic Southern US use, simmered into a stew
- Deep-fried or roasted: whole or sliced, for a crispy side dish
- West African stews: okra soup and okra-based sauces
Storage
Keep refrigerated in a paper bag or breathable container and use within 3-4 days for best texture.
Goes well with: Curry Leaf and Habanero for a South Indian-style okra curry.
