About Baan n okra

Baan n okra is the fried-okra preparation recorded in Boki Ni Kuuka, a collection shared by Kiribati communities. The cookbook presents its recipes as a way to preserve local food traditions and culture.

Egg gives the okra its coating, seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder and salt. These simple ingredients add a savoury aromatic layer around the mild vegetable.

The okra has a tender centre beneath a thin savoury egg coating. Browning gives the finished pieces their fried surface, while the vegetable remains the focus of the dish.
