Okra love

The lovely sp brought us okra all the way from NOLA, and we couldn't wait to dig in. Here you see Pan-Fried Okra with an Onion-Tamarind Sauce, Jyoti brand Delhi Saag (spinach and mustard greens, from a can), and Five-Spiced Whole Pigeon Peas (Sabud toovar with panch phoron).
The okra and pigeon pea curries are of course from my obsession, 660 Curries. Both were delicious, and pretty quick (under 30 minutes, because I used canned pigeon peas). The pigeon pea curry was the first time I've put my jar of panch phoron to good use, and now I'm a believer. The Delhi Saag was pretty good, considering it was from a can. (I don't know if I'd pay full price for it, but if I find it on sale again, I wouldn't mind having some on hand.)

Plus, here's some news for the 660-curries-obsessed: there's a blog.
