  This was a great recipe... with the following modifications:
  - I added a lot more spices (2x cumin, garlic salt to taste, 1 tsp fajita seasoning, 1 tsp chili spice).
  - Just after splashing the first water, I added about 3 tbsp. fresh-squeezed lime juice.
  I ended up eating the whole recipe! - 12/2/09

  This was easy to make. I had to cook half at a time, since not all the okra will fit in a single layer. And while I was eating the 2nd half, I munched on the entire 1st half. yum! - 9/9/09

  Simple simple to make (just heat and splash with water!).
  My husband and I loved the cumin okra. The cumin, pepper, and salt made a nice coating that was like a lighter version of the batter-fried okra.
  I will make this whenever our farmer's market box gives us okra. - 9/30/08

  I don't know if I did something wrong but I thought they tasted awful. I think it's too much cumin or something. I will try again with my own seasoning blend... - 4/20/10

  I was out of cumin and tried it with Emeril's seasoning. Great alternative to the usual ways to cook okra. - 9/7/08

  This is very good, I use frozen okra and just omit the first water and just let it go until it is dry, then add the cumin and other water. - 3/15/07

  O thanks, I love okra! This reminds me of the summer time grilled okra but better because there is no oil. The outdoor grill recipe uses a mixture of cumin, grated garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. You marinate okra in that and grill over open flames. I think next time I will try without the oil. - 9/26/10

  I LOVE recipes like this - full of flavor, feels like you are splurging, but is very low calorie. It should probably read "32 SMALL pods fresh okra" to fit in one pan. - 8/18/10

  Previously, I had only had fried okra, and I hated it. Since so many people eat okra, I figured perhaps I needed to find a new way to make it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'll be growing okra next summer. - 7/20/08

  I'll try it if I can find fresh okra. I might cut down on the pepper because we always use fresh ground pepper. I love anything with cumin. - 4/20/08

  loved it! Very spicy and I LOVE spicy! If you don't like a lot of spice then I'd cut back on pepper a bit. I used frozen and omited the water too. I was expecting the cumin/pepper mixture to be like a batter and it was more like a seasoning. It just didn't look as "pretty" as fried does. lol - 3/26/08

  Very nice side dish & use of okra. The falvor was very good, it cooked up easily and both my husband and I loved it. I will reduce the salt & Pepper to 0.5 tsp each. Now I have a reason to say "yes" when my in-laws offer fresh Okra from their garden. - 8/8/11

  I used the frozen okra, so maybe this had something to do with my results. - 5/18/11

  I don't like okra. I had been wanting to try different vegetables and I tried this. I loved it. I could eat the whole recipe by myselft - 3/2/11

  Really, REALLY good! Since I'm not a huge cumin fan, I mixed chili powder and some steak seasoning to the cumin before tossing it onto the okra. I used frozen okra, defrosted it and then added to pan and left it on quite some time to really char (not burn) it and also make sure sliminess was gone! - 10/12/10

  I had to use frozen okra instead of fresh. I followed the other reviewers advice and did not add the water. I was not able to get the okra to crisp. The flavor was good but the consistency was not good. - 10/1/10

  I loved the flavor , but I had to cook much longer than stated and actaully ended up putting more water in the pan after the spices and covering the okra so it steamed a little to soften them - 9/28/10

  I love fried okra but not the calories from fat. Hope this compares - 9/27/10

  I love fried okra - my stomach can't tolerate spicy food so I'm going to try this minus the cumin and see what it takes like. - 9/26/10
