I used this frozen bhindi (okra) from Tesco.
2
Put the frozen okra straight into a heated frying pan (no oil) to defrost until soft.

Add the chicken stock and curry roux cubes and soy sauce. Stir well.

Cook for 2-3 minutes. If it gets too thick, add some water. It's ready when it's your preferred consistency.
