About
Known by many names, including bhindi, lady’s finger and bendakaya, okra is a popular vegetable in Indian cooking. Its soft, slightly fuzzy pods contain edible seeds and have a mild, grassy flavour. When sliced, okra releases a sticky juice that can help thicken sauces.
How to use
Add okra to curries, or prepare it as a simple side dish. It’s also tasty in a spiced stir-fry, or cooked with tomatoes and aromatics for a comforting curry. Try frying, grilling or roasting the pods to suit your meal.
- Box contains approximately 3kg of okra.
Storage
Keep okra dry in a paper bag or breathable container in the vegetable drawer of your fridge. Store away from moisture and direct sunlight, and wait to wash it until you’re ready to cook. For longer storage, blanch the okra and freeze in a suitable bag or container for up to six months.
