Stuffed Okra (Bhara Bhendi)
Okra, known scientifically as “Abelmoschus esculentus or hibiscus esculentus” derived its name from the Niger – Congo region in Africa. It is a member of the mallow family related to cotton, hibiscus and hollyhock. It originated in Ethiopia, and cultivated by ancient Egyptians by 12th century. Its cultivation spread to North Africa and Middle East. Okra came to the Caribbean in the 1700s probably brought by slaves from West Africa.and Introduced to Western Europe soon after. In Louisiana the creoles learned from the slaves the use of okra to thicken soups and it is now essential in the stew “Creole Gumbo” .
