Keto style 'chips'.

Today I was craving good old British Fish and Chips with batter and salt and vinegar. That wasn't going to happen so I decided to improvise.

I'm having Salmon which is technically (not at all) not allowed on pronokal however it is on Atkins so whatever -  It's a compromise, and okra chips. I came across a really simple recipe a few months ago and whenever I find fresh okra I make it.

I'm not great with fish so I would recommend finding your own recipe but the okra I'm getting really good at - probably because it's so simple. Just 4 ingredients including the okra.
My plate may not be neat but they were still finished within minutes... 

1) Okra 150g
2) salt to taste
3) curry powder (sometimes I substitute smoked paprika)
4) 1 tsp of olive oil

Mix them together and you get the consistency of gooey chips(or fries if you're in the US) which don't have the slight sliminess often associated with okra.

This is pretty much exactly from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08KqySWG0gA&list=UUj0V0aG4LcdHmdPJ7aTtSCQ

The only change I've made is removing the pepper and upping the salt content - just for my personal taste.

Dannie recomends cooking the Okra for about 15 minutes, I usually cook them for about 20 but watch them after the 15 minute mark as they can burn easily - so good and seriously addictive. Just make sure you don't have too many as these are a B list higher cab vegetable.
