Otherwise known as Ladies Fingers. Often found in Indian curries. Something I've just discovered : okra is Swahili for Gumbo! I've often heard of the word Gumbo but didn't know I knew what it was!!! (If you see what I mean!) Okra is not high on my 'favourite vegetables' list but I gather it is a 'powerhouse' of valuable nutrients. Maybe I'll look out for it on the menu the next time I 'go for a curry' (as we say over here). Okra? Otherwise known as Ladies Fingers. Often found in Indian curries.
