Okra With Coriander and Tomato Sauce image

Not many people know this, but Okra is a vegetable native to Africa and later introduced to the Middle East and Arabian countries by the slave traders. Lots of people are wary of okra because of the texture and "slime", factor, but you can minimize this by keeping okra whole and not overcooking it. I love okra!!!

The okra was overcooked and the sauce was too watery. I would recommend cooking the okra for less time and thickening the sauce with cornstarch or flour.

The okra was a bit slimy for my taste, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend using a different type of okra, such as baby okra, if you don't like slimy okra.
