Here's a fun way to cook okra; it retains some crunch and doesn't even think of getting slimy. The fresh serrano chile and curry powder offer a good bit of heat; seed the chile or omit it for a milder dish.
Enjoyed this a lot with summer corn, grilled sourdough bread, and a few bell pepper pieces and onions. I only wish I'd doubled the spices, as they were very faint. Great idea for okra though! Mine was large, so I cut each piece in half.
The shrimp was delicious. I seasoned it according to the recipe, but then tossed it into a saute pan rather than putting it on skewers. I cooked it just under 3 minutes a side. Fresh okra was out of season at the farmers market, so I did a medley of carrots, zucchini and red onion. I seasoned the vegetables according to the recipe but then put them in a roasting pan and roasted them at 450 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The veggies were yummy. I also served Israeli couscous with pinenuts on the side. In case you're wondering, I didn't think the dish was too hot, and my husband, who doesn't like Indian food, was quite happy with the meal.
Used some Indian spice I had w/ the Serrano pepper. Really good & really easy (only 5 min on the grill). Skipped the okra & served w/ couscous.
