Yeah there are many ways to prepare Okra, but I like it cooked the way I mentioned before. I fry okra in oil and when it ebcomes tender, I take it out and fry onions, chopped tomatoes and green chilies with turmeric and red chili powder and salt till a smooth mixture is formed and then I add in the okras. It is delicious. Your way looks interesting too but I am a bit scared of experimenting because if I don't like it, the food may go to waste and I don't wanna waste my money since I am already living from paycheck to paycheck.

Yeah, temptations can be resisted if you stay focused on your goal. I am trying to do the same nowadays. Very difficult but doable.
