FInally made it! Brian was out, I had some okra handy, and I was feeling some basic tadka dhal and rice. Can't seem to attach the photo, but, wow--you can tell your eldest that now it may be my new favorite vegetable too. Ate half of it, then went back and ate the other half (Brian won't be getting any.) And I will look for more okra tomorrow. Thanks!
You are very right that the political correctness approach to books is terribly destructive. Our kids can access horror films without difficulty, and they encounter racism on the street every day of their lives, but they can't read Enid Blyton. It would be much healthier to spell out to our kids what might be problematical about Enid Blyton's books, rather than ban them.

Oh and I love okra. Wonderful recipe!

Great blog Chandrika, and very timely too given the Texan banned book list.
I will totally try this the next time I find some decent okra! :-)
