About

This is a whole spice curry that is particularly flavoursome. Okra (or ladies’ fingers) should be prepared with a wash and the merest trimming of the stalk. If you expose the inside, the juices run and they can be slimy, which come people find repellent. Serve with buckwheat, jajiki, spiced baked potatoes and a fruit salad.
