  I added prawns just before adding the tomatos. Really nice. Nice without prawns too...

  My family loves this with a touch of ground cumin. We eat this quite often.

  Want to make something a little bit different while still being simple to prepare and tasty to eat? This is the recipe for you. This is a really great dish if it will be your first time trying okra. It is easy to make and very tasty. The balance of spices is just right and combines well with the okra's distinct flavour. Now a firm favourite in our household. Highly recommended.

  I made a version of this as a side dish for a chicken madras. It was delicious. I must admit though, I added half a tsp of garam masala and a little splash of white wine vinegar to lift it towards the end of cooking. Real winner this :-)

  Very nice, used this recipe to introduce my husband to okra, & he liked it. We halved the recipe, & used powdered chile negro rather than fresh or powdered red chili, & it was great.

  I make a very similar dish but with a slightly different mix of spices. I like to cook the onions so they are browned when the Okra is cooked. To speed up preparation I microwave the Okra for 4 minutes. The dish tastes just as good but cooking time is reduced.

  We loved it! I am sure this will become a firm favourite. Now, anyone got a decent recipe for a mixed veg curry that does not use coconut or cashew? We want a dark gravy rather than a white one.

  Our first time trying okra, and must say, I was pleasantly surprised (both by the recipe and the vegetable). I used red onions and it tasted very very yummy.

  I really liked it. I had to change the coriander for cumin as I can't stand coriander, but it was still great...many thanks!

  Really simple and delicious. I've enjoyed okra many times, but this was my first attempt at cooking it. Was not sticky at all! Really tasty with some naan bread and raita. Definitely a simple dish that highlights the flavour and texture of the okra. Will make again.

  I halved this recipe and it still worked wonderfully. I also added cumin as suggested by someone in the comments, the smell whilst it was cooking had my mouth watering. I've never had okra before, but I certainly will be having it again. Such a simple dish to make, this will definitely be one of my regulars.

  This has to be the most awful, tasteless dish I have ever made! Went in the bin after a few mouthfuls. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

  Amazing and the cheapest dish I have made in a long time. Living in Dubai okra is one of the cheapest veg around, thanks so much for this recipe! I added a bit of cumin also when I added the ground corriander and instead of using diced tomato, I strained a tin of tomatoes and kept the juice. I added the tomatoes and then the juice at the end instead of the water. It was lush!
