Right, I never had an Indian curry with okra other than that I made myself. I did leave quite firm but not very crisp.
As for Chinese prep, I can also see it working well in hot pots, and also as a cold appetizer, maybe with fish-fragrant sauce, or a sesame based one. And also simply stir fried e.g. with garlic and soy sauce.
Okra (Hindi: भिंडी - bhindi) is very common in curries. Bhindi Bhaji is on almost every menu in UK 'Indian' restaurants. Bhindi masala is also popular. Yes, okra is better still somewhat firm.
I can't see okra working in hot pots, but the other methods you mention, yes.
I was just interested in posting my friend's method as it is the first I've seen it being cooked here - and it looked so good!
