Cornelle Naude – Okra Curry recipe :
1 lb [½kg] young Okra pods
2 Onions
3 tbsp vegetable oil (preferably olive but sunflower or other will do.)
½ tsp dried hot red chilie
¼ to ½ tsp mild curry powder (depending on how mild you want the curry to be)
¼ tsp ground tumeric
salt and pepper for seasoning, to taste
Making the Okra curry
Top and tail the Okra pods, ie cut off the ends.
Cut the pods into approximately ¼ to ½ inch [6 to 12mm] rounds.
Peel and slice the onions
Place the sliced Okra into a glass or stainless steel bowl and sprinkle the salt liberally over the pods.
Cover the pods with the iced water, making sure that all the slices are under water.
Place the bowl containing the Okra and water in a refrigerator and leave for 2 or more hours.
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and drain off the salt water.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet until it begins to shimmer.
Add the Okra and fry until lightly brown. (Approximately 10 minutes)
You will need to turn the Okra to prevent sticking
Add the remaining ingredients and fry for a further 3 minutes, until the onions are soft.
Serve this Curried Okra hot as a vegetable side dish
This curried okra is also great cold, between two slices of fresh bread, for a tasty sandwich.
Donna May- Okra is ontsettend goed vir kraakbeen en kan rou geeet word maar mens moet gewoond raak aan die gel gevoel. Sodra dit in kontak kom met suurstof gebeur die gel effek. Hier waar ek bly braai die mense uie en knoffel en die okra in ringetjies gesny en voeg dan tamatie ook by. Soos ‘n tamatie en uie bredie. Kerrie en red peppers saam met dit werk ook lekker. Na ‘n ruk in die pot verdyn die grillerige gellerigheid en dis heerlik met chapati of mash.
Althea Stevens okra – it is used in jambalaya it can go slimy when overcooked – i slice and dust lightly with spice and flour and deep fry till crunchy awesome snack – bottom bitter gourds used in indian vegetarian curries, its awesome similar to brinjals
Eunice Jacobs – Okra was dit gewoonlik af onder lopende water en vee dan af met kombuis papier. Sny in sirkels en plaas op bakplaat. Sit indie oond tot droog. Intussen skil n sny ‘n ui en plaas in kastrol met bietjie olie. Berei ook paar tamaties voor dompel eers in kookwater dan in koue water sodat skille maklik afkom. kap en plaas in kastrol wanneer uie gaar is. Kan ook ‘n chillie sny en ontpit en in die tamatie sous sit met anner speserye. Laastens voeg die okra by laat saam stoom en geniet met rys, pap of brood. Die bitter gourd was ek ook af sny die ente af en sny dan ook in sirkels kan ook in dieselfde tamatiesous gestoom word tot gaar, ek vind dat as jy te veel borrie/tumeric gebruik dan word die sous baie baie bitter dan is dit nie so lekker nie
