Can have too many of Mom’s recipes can we.. 🙂
Mom made Okra and onion subzi the other day. Hubbs loved it and of course Mom and Dad like it. My sister can live on Okra 5 days a week and I cannot stand more than 1 tiny piece :). Preferences. Mom has a few Bhindi recipes up her sleeve. So I stopped everyone in their tracks and took some pictures before they all finished lunch.
And did you hear? Vegan MOFO is in September this year. Thats like tomorrow.. Gaah. I wont have any time to think till mid August and then I might just explode with the stress of mofo already.
No Themes planned yet, no recipe and posts thought of.
Last year I did a Pizza theme… 20+ different Pizzas, with 20+ different crusts! and man it was nerve wracking trying to come up with the different crusts:)
Throw me some ideas will you.. What would you like to see this year in the month of september. Some fun but attainable theme ideas please:)
Below.. lunch with the Bhindi Subzi… Mung Dal, Okra, Mint Cilantro Chutney, Kachumbar Salad (Chopped onion, tomato, cilantro, salt, pepper, lemon juice), Roti flatbread.
Also, I truly apologize for not visiting blogs this past month. It has been a crazy 2 months and continuing! No end in sight yet..

I cooked this yesterday. Very nice okra dish (unlike you, I do love okras, and had just found beautiful ones). The recipe was quick and easy, and very satisfying. When I am out of ideas of what to cook, I can always count on your blog! Thank you, and a happy new year,

Have already requested my shoppigwebsite to send me an emal asa your book can be preordered! Greetingz, Abdullah
I love okra – as long as it’s not overcooked and slimy! It looks so pretty, too, don’t you think? I wonder if I could grow it if I saved some seeds? Now there’s a thought:)
goodgolly that looks delicious! I haven’t eaten okra in a gazillion years but you have inspired me to dig in again!
As for September ideas, maybe you could do wraps? Naan wraps and tortilla wraps and collard/cabbage/greens wraps. Radicchio wraps? Pancakes wraps!
Perfect time for them because they tuck well into school lunches and soccer snack bags.
Thanks for the recipe…cheers!
I cooked okra once and hated it , maybe it would be different if I actually had someone prepare it for me that knew a thing or two about okra….since that one time I have not tried it, too bad of an experience!
i have never eaten fresh okra- only frozen, and i didn’t like it. i have to believe fresh is so much tastier, especially in this dish where it has a crispness to it. never too many mommy recipes!
i can’t wait to see what you bring to the mofo table this year!
