KUALA LUMPUR, Sept. 13 -- We have been on a binge lately, albeit of the healthier variety. To be precise, our treat of choice is spicy, crispy okra - perfect for snacking!

You won't be wrong to assume that we typically enjoy okra (or lady's fingers, as they are known in Malaysia) in their softer form, either stewed in curries or as part of a quick stir fry like the Four Heavenly Kings.

There's no better way to enjoy these green pods, if you ask me, and normally I wouldn't deviate from the standard menu in our kitchen.

However, given that we have been growing okra in our garden lately and the bounty is more than we can finish, it was time to look for new ways to enjoy them.

What a tasty dilemma!
