This vegetarian okra and potato curry is a simple and delicious way to cook okra, in a curry. We made this to go with the Tandoori Chicken Skewers, served with homemade roti and coriander chutney. This recipe will convert you to liking Okra as does not end up in one sticky mess. With the addition of potato, it makes quite a substantial dish by itself. If you want to add a vegetarian protein, you can add some paneer cheese.
We cooked this curry in the largest of the Tefal Ingenio pans (28cm) on an induction hob, as seen in the pictures below. It is quite deep and you can cook quite a lot of food in it without worrying about overflow.
