Indian Roasted Okra & Tomatoes
Posted by Callies Biscuits on
It's no secret that okra is my spirit vegetable! I could eat okra every day with every meal. It must have been all the fried okra my Dad fed me during childhood! Nonetheless, I love this Southern staple and I love love love Indian food. So why not combine these two cultures and make an Indian roasted Okra for a weeknight supper accompaniment? The magical combination of the crispy okra with the pleasantly pungent spices roasted to perfection is an exotic departure from the boring week night green bean.
