BAKED OKRA

Okra is one those few vegetables i like better crisp rather than cooked.Even though i love its taste when its cooked i hate it when it gets slimy and sticky.So i fry or bake it before adding it to a gravy.Here i have simply coated it with some cornmeal and some spices and then baked it at a high temperature.You can also fry it.Best when served hot right from the oven,it looses its crispiness when its cold.It's great with rice and dal.

This is my post on day 15 of RM2.
