Thanks Aparna. Yes I first add some salt and oil to the okra,mix it well on the glass plate and after that microwave it. Hope this helps.

Another of our staples and a favourite with us. Only we add a bit of coconut ground with green chillies (not into a paste) to the yogurt.
I’ve never crisped the okra in the MW before. Thanks for that tip. Do you add a bit of salt to the okra before MWing it?

My uncle had made this for us, when we visited him:) The only difference is, he used a pan for frying and added ginger, green chillies, onion too while frying.

I liked the idea of crisping it in microwave. Saves a lot of time and effort! am definitely gonna try this one:)
