I had never made this recipe this way before, I usually make a simple coconut curry my grandmother's way and I add the okra.

Orange and Lime Madeleines
April 1st, 2021These Orange and Lime Madeleines are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack. Madeleines are typically French cookies, but they also exist in their own versions in other parts of the world.

They are tea cakes, perfect to eat for breakfast or a snack, and are super soft. Usually with a citrus aftertaste, either orange, lime or lemon.
