Wow - delicious! I am a huge okra fan & this will be in my favorite okra recipe rotation. I didn't add the serrano, because I didn't have any, but will be sure to top it with cayenne powder. Thanks for the GREAT recipe once again Cooking Light!
Indian-Spiced Okra
Even folks who usually don't like okra enjoy the taste and texture of this highly seasoned dish. We left the seeds in the chile for moderate spice. Serve with grilled chicken or lamb.
