you may want to make a big batch and freeze a portion to have on hand for later — but can you freeze fried okra? Technically ...

Once your okra is cooled, you can freeze them as-is or chop them into pieces. Whole okra can be good for frying or roasting, while slices or rounds are better for gumbos and sauteed dishes.

Okra is widely used in Indian cuisine, added to masala with onions and tomatoes or stir-fried with ghee and turmeric.
