Notes 

If you have an option to pick your okra, select the tender ones. You can test by breaking a small portion of the tail by hand. If it breaks easily that means Okra is good and will cook easily. 
To avoid the secretion of slimy substance from okra during the cooking process , wash and completely dry the okra before cutting and cooking it. While cutting sometimes there may be a build up of slimy substance on the knife. In this case wipe it off before resuming cutting the remaining okra. 
Okra requires slightly more oil than any other veggie, so adjust oil accordinlgy.
