Frequently Asked Questions About Delly
What is Delly?
Delly is an Indian-style vegetable stew made with eggplant, okra and spices. It is a minimally processed dish made by cooking its basic ingredients, although the exact vegetables and seasoning can vary from one recipe to another.
Is Delly a curry?
Delly can be described as a curry-style vegetable stew, but the name does not point to one universally fixed recipe. Its defining ingredients here are eggplant, okra and spices, while the seasoning and consistency may differ between cooks.
Why does Delly get slimy?
Okra releases a naturally sticky substance as it cooks, which can make Delly feel slimy or stringy. Drying the okra well after washing, avoiding excessive stirring and adding an acidic ingredient such as tomato or lemon can help limit that texture.
Does Delly always contain okra?
The version of Delly described here includes okra, though individual recipes may vary. Leaving it out is possible, but the stew will lose some of its characteristic texture; you can add another vegetable if you want a fuller dish.
What does Delly taste like?
Delly tastes savory and warmly spiced, with the soft, mild flavor of cooked eggplant and the distinctive texture of okra. Its heat is not fixed: the amount and type of chili used determine whether a particular recipe is spicy.
How do you keep eggplant from falling apart in Delly?
Cut the eggplant into generously sized pieces and simmer Delly gently rather than stirring it constantly. Adding the eggplant after the other ingredients have started cooking can also help it soften without breaking down as quickly.
Can you make Delly without eggplant?
Yes, you can make Delly without eggplant, but it will no longer have the soft, mild vegetable that helps define this version of the stew. Use another vegetable that holds its shape during simmering, and expect a different flavor and texture.
What should you serve with Delly?
Serve Delly with rice or flatbread to soak up its spiced cooking juices. For a more balanced meal, add a fresh salad or a cooling yogurt accompaniment; either works well alongside the warm, soft vegetables.
Can you freeze Delly?
Yes, Delly can be frozen, though the eggplant and okra may become softer after thawing. Cool it before packing into a freezer-safe container, thaw it in the refrigerator, and reheat it thoroughly before serving.
How do you reheat leftover Delly?
Reheat leftover Delly in a saucepan over low to medium heat, stirring gently until it is hot throughout. Add a small splash of water if the stew has thickened; gentle reheating helps keep the eggplant from breaking apart.

What is Delly?
Delly is an Indian-style vegetable stew made with eggplant, okra and spices. The vegetables soften as they cook, taking on the flavour of the seasoning; the exact spice mix and consistency can vary from one recipe to another. In India, stews like this are commonly served as part of a meal with rice or flatbread. It also works well for home cooks elsewhere: serve it as a meat-free main or alongside other dishes, adjusting the heat to suit your table.
Its vegetable-forward profile makes it a relatively light choice, with 65 calories and 2.6 g of fibre per 100 g. Use oil sparingly for a lighter pot, and avoid overcooking if you prefer the okra and eggplant to keep some texture.
