A quick vegan and vegetarian okra curry that works just as well as a side dish. It's important to wash and dry the okra before chopping them, or they will become slimey. Firstly prepare the okra.

Okra was one of the first things my mother learned to cook when she worked in Sudan after fleeing Tigray. You can leave out the lamb to make this dish vegan. Credit: Murdoch Books / Alicia Taylor ...
