Up close, it's a thing of beauty.
It's a relative of the hybiscus and the part that you eat are the pointy looking seed pods that are picked while the pod is green and supple.
Wash 'em, slice 'em, slather them with cornmeal breading, fry 'em and then eat 'em. Does life get any better?

I loves me some okra in any way shape or form! Have you tried frying it after dusting it with flour? That is how my mil made it and it was YUMMY. I love boiled okra with tomatoes. Just any old way and I'm in for some.
Maybe I'll plant some next year. Our garden was a disappointment this year. The weather was just weird. Are your plants still making? hmm..
I wonder what Sambhar is. I'm seeing a google search in my future.
My partner hails from Louisiana, so we plant okra every year. We use it mostly in soup, but sometimes fried. I think it is okay, but Bing? She swoons for it.
That looks NOTHING like a killer whale! lol
Never heard of it before. I have to google it!
Love fried okra but boiled or pickled I can stomach the stuff.
Oh yes....it's absolutely wonderful.
And for the first time ever, I had boiled peanuts.
OH MY GOSH....another two thumbs up southern thing! :-)
