Okra is a favorite of many. My Son loves okra and can eat it everyday. Unfortunately, he wanted the same recipe day after day. Now, my husband and I got tired of eating the same thing. So, I tried something different and thankfully for us, my son loved it. This has now become our family favorite. Some of my friends also requested the recipe after tasting it. I hope you enjoy this delectable dish as much as we do.
