I recently wrote an article with all the positive features in a row. You have to love it because okra has a specific taste. The texture is most comparable to the softness of eggplant. The taste is soft and slightly sweet. What distinguishes okra from other vegetables is the somewhat slimy texture.

#### Tip: use a dash of vinegar I got this tip from an Instagram follower: always use a dash of vinegar when [preparing okra](https://afromealsnow.com/2019/11/15/okra-reduces-bad-cholesterol/), which reduces the slimy structure. I think the slippery part of okra is so delicious, but this is a great tip to reduce it considerably. #### Curry-like okra My mom often made okra when I was still living at home. This recipe is therefore inspired by Indian/Bengali cuisine. Tasty with exotic, but very accessible spices that also make the dish healthier. Great for weekdays and the fast cooking princes and princesses among us: fixed in 20 minutes. Here the recipe.

1. Wash the okras, cut the cups off and then cut them in half lengthwise. 2. Cut the tomatoes into cubes, peel and chop the onion, press the garlic cloves and fresh ginger (or mash into a mortar) and finely chop the red peppers (with or without seed list) 3. Now heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the garlic and ginger first. Add the chopped onion after half a minute and let it become nicely glassy over medium heat. 4. Put all the spices and salt in the pan and stir. Also, add the tomato cubes and about 75 ml of water. Let the tomatoes boil for about 3 minutes, so that you get a tomato puree. (Put a lid on the wok/frying pan) 5. Now add the okras with a dash of vinegar and stir well. Put another lid on the pan and let it simmer on a fairly low heat for about 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally. 6. Finally, add the spinach, stir well. The spinach shrinks within about a minute. Turn on the fire. 7. Serve with bulgur, rice or quinoa. Let it taste to you!
