Okra
Bhindi
12 g1 pod
USDA okra about 8 pods per 95 g gives ~12 g per pod.
Instead of Okra
Nothing truly replaces okra's mucilage and seedy bite, but cluster bean is the closest texture.
Cluster beanUse the same weight, topped, tailed and cut into similar pieces. It is firmer and less mucilaginous; cook a few minutes longer until tender.
Green beanUse the same weight, trimmed and cut into short lengths. It cooks faster and stays crisp; add towards the end and expect no okra stickiness.
AubergineUse the same weight, cut into small pieces and cook until soft. It gives a soft, seedy texture but no okra mucilage and absorbs more oil.
