Wow this sounds delicious!!!!
Quick and delicious .. this looks absolutely irresistible.
Hi, this dish looks extremely amazing and delicious. Your instructions are very clear. Thanks for the recipe.
Okra in coconut milk! I love that! We call it “masak lemak” in Malay.
Sounds wonderful, Raymund. Okra is in season now and I’ve only either fried it or used it in gumbo. This would be fun to make!
As we’re in Scotland we don’t very often get Okra in our main supermarkets. Although from time to time we do. Next time I see it stocked I’m going to try this out!
