Thank you Sadia for this recipe. Can you please add some tips at the end about what to do if its Frozen Okra instead of fresh one. Or if this makes any difference or not.

If you do use frozen okra I would allow them to defrost completely first and then pat dry. As frozen okra tends to be a lot softer you would need to fry them 1-2 minutes to get that crispiness.
