This was the first time I ever tasted okra, other than in a gumbo. I have to say that I did not really care for it. I did like the spice blend, though, and I might use it on other vegetables. It did taste "Indian Style" to me.

We grow okra and are always looking for something different to do with it. This is easy and wonderful!

So great! I cut up my okra and soaked in vinegar for 20 minutes, then rinsed. Not slimy at all after it cooked. In addition to the other spices, I added ~1T of garam masala and also quartered a few tomatoes and threw those in.

This is a superb method of preparing fresh okra. It's easy, slime-free, and delicious! The only alteration I made to the recipe was to use chili powder since I ran out of cumin.

this was awful we've never had okra before, so maybe if you love okra you'll like this recipe, but it was not very good at least for our taste.

I thought this was delicious and easy and vegetarian friendly. I did soak the okra in vinegar prior to cooking--this does reduce the slime

It was good okra, but I don't see how it was terribly Indian.

I love okra, but this wasn't something I'd make again. I just wasn't particularly fond of the mixture of spices. Also, it was a bit slimy, which I wasn't expecting after reading other reviews.

I added some chili peppers and a little turmeric. I still felt like it needed "something". My dh loves okra, he usually makes it...this was my first attempt, and, I admit, his is tastier. But, he said it was good, and that's what matters because I made it for him tonight.

I increased all the amounts of spices slightly and it turned out tasty. Despite what the other reviews said, I really think this tastes pretty authentic Indian - it's just like the "bhindi" (okra) my mom makes! Use fresh okra only though, or else it will be soggy.

We will make it again. It has a very mild Indian taste and works great as a side dish with baked chicken. (we used Honey Baked Chicken II).

This was nice change of how to make okra. I'm from the south so I'm used to it always being fried. Will definitely make this again.

Being from the South with okra very plentiful I am always looking for a new way to cook one of my favorite vegetables. I haven't been exposed to much Indian food, so I was a little weary of the combination of spices. I went ahead and followed the recipe to a "T" and loved it! I was pleasantly suprised how the flavors bring out the sweetness of the okra. The only thing that I would change is that when using frozen okra, reduce the cooking time...it can get really mushy...I like my okra a little firm so that it holds its shape. Great recipe--thank you!

Fantastic! My husband and I, being true Northern Yankees, never tried okra but we are now hooked! So good it will be part of our holiday feasts!! You can freeze this and then when ready to saute it, just dump it in a pan with lots of butter - just place fresh, chopped okra and all spices in a ziplock bag and throw in the freezer. When ready to use, simply take straight from freezer and dump into a pan with hot butter and cook. So easy!

This recipe is smashing! We took it to a potluck, and it was eaten right up! I think the title "Indian style" might deceive some people. With the spice amounts recommended, it doesn't really come out tasting like an Indian dish (although it is wonderful). This may be why many others are recommending to increase the spices. In any case, a welcome new recipe to my okra repertoire!
