Yogurt-Based Okra Potato Curry
Eating Okra Has Multiple Benefits!
I buy okra often. It has a unique and pleasing flavor, it cooks quickly, and it has many health benefits, as well. This vegetable is rich in folate, antioxidants, minerals, fiber, and nutrients.
This mildly spicy okra potato curry is yogurt-based, and it's lovely when served with chapati, roti, or rice. I made this curry in just 30 minutes, and it made enough for three people.
