Okra (Ladies fingers) in a poppy seed sauce

This is a favourite of mine. Totally delicious...

Okra (Ladies fingers) in a poppy seed sauce
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Recipe:

20-30 fresh okra (Ladies Fingers or Bendi)
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
3 medium hot dried red chillies
½ t each of salt and turmeric

For the coating/'sauce'

1 tablespoon peanut oil,
Small pinch of cumin, mustard seeds. Add 6-8 curry leaves

---

1. Cut the okra in half inch Lengths.

2. Roast poppy seeds in a dry, hot iron skillet for about 3 minutes. When they start to colour and you can smell the aromas, add dried red chillies and a pinch of salt. Grind or blend all the ingredients together to form a moist paste. I use my trusty pok-pok for this.

3. In a cast iron (best for this) skillet, heat the oil. Add and toast the cumin, mustard seeds, and curry leaves first and then the chopped okra. Mix well and slow fry. Do not stir much as this will break the okra. The moisture should cook out and the okra become slightly crisp. If you have one, use it for this recipe. Add the poppy seed powder, turmeric and salt. Mix gently and saute for a couple of minutes.

Serve this curry hot with chapatis or with rice and dal as a main course / side dish.

What's the meme...

Elton John gets two entries!

A list of 'gay' bands. Not sure why the Rolling Stones are in there. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. Here.

"There are multiple levels of Gay Music. Some bands are what we like to call Gateway Bands. They lure children in with Pop Grooves and Salacious Melodies leaving them wanting more. They’ll move on to more dangerous bands and the next thing you know you’ve got a homosexual for a child.
We’ve taken the time to highlight the bands that are particularly Gay. Please take the time and dissect your child’s CD / iTunes catalog. If you find 3 or more of these bands in their collection it is time to take action.
We Strongly recommend that you burn the CDs. Make sure your child is watching. Make sure they can feel the heat. It is crucial that the image remains emblazoned in their young minds. They need to know that if they continue to listen to these bands they may Burn eternally as well."
