CRISPY CURRY OKARA

A very simple dish that is suitable  for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

  2. Hi Anonymous, this Okara is available at stores/stalls selling vegetarian food ingredients. 150 gm costs about RM3.80. Was told that these are imported from US. It comes in various sizes and shapes. Use the coarser type, not the fine type.
