Okra with coconut
Background
Okra (Lady's finger) is a favourite vegetable in our family. There are many ways to cook okra but this recipe gives a very good flavour to okra combined with coconut. Not everybody is a fan of okra as it is a sticky vegetable but this can be avoided just by cleaning the vegetable with water and towel dry it a night before. This recipe serves as a side dish and goes well with rice or roti.
