Okra is possibly the best vegetable ever.
Fried okra... my fav.
Boiled okra
Pickled okra
Steamed okra
Sauteed okra
Shrimp and okra gumbo

Very very different though. Okra is used as a veggie in many Cajun dishes whereas a green chili is used more as a flavor enhancer in many dishes. (Especially in our Southwest)
