This first "Submit Your Recipe" comes from Becky M. of NY who wanted to learn a new recipe using okra and Indian spices. Fresh okra is typically not in season until late summer/early fall so I used frozen for this dish. My class cooked a version of this in our Cuisines of Asia course - spicy, sweet, crunchy and satisfying! The okra-dried mango combo makes this dish "High In" vitamins A and C as well as fiber and calcium. It's also "Low In" saturated fat and cholesterol.

Ingredients
- About 2-3 cups of canola oil
- 1 lb frozen okra, cut into strips/julienned
- 2 oz dried mango, julienned
- 1/2 red onion, julienned
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne, or more to taste
Preparation
- Heat oil in a shallow pot/skillet until it reaches 350 degrees F. Fry the okra in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, and drain on paper towels. Be sure to allow the oil to come back up to temperature in between batches.
- Meanwhile, stir together all the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. For a short tutorial on how to do the julienne cut, click the YouTube video above.
- When the okra have cooled, gently toss them into the salad, and serve immediately at room temperature.
