Farm fresh Okra harvest converted into steamed egg cup curry & fried Okra patties! | Traditional Me
This time elder aunty’s vegetable garden was not at all flourished. Elder uncle said that it was due to the continuous rain that we are getting! Since the pollen of those little flowers of brinjal, ridge gourd, and bitter gourd washed away due to the continuous rain the harvest have got very low this time it seems! Yet it was a very pleasant and a beautiful sight to see that the okra (ladies’ fingers) trees were filled with lady’s fingers pods.
Elder uncle harvested the okras every once in 3 days. Because they get mature fast! I was asked to pick some of the tender okras repeatedly by elder aunty. But I waited until they harvest the ladies’ fingers by elder uncle as he grow these with utmost care, to sell.
These tender okras are very tasty. Even they can be eaten raw as well and the tender okras seeds gives a milky taste. okras are a versatile vegetable where they can be cooked either as a spicy or white curry, or fried spicy dry vegetable dish as well. But this time I thought of making a different dish out of them by steaming eggs and ladies’ fingers together. Actually my newest innovation went well with cooking melon black coconut curry, spicy beans fry, and beet and cucumber salad for lunch.
Since ladies’ fingers are a cooling vegetable, it is not good to eat them frequently during this rainy season. Because of this reason I didn’t cook them for every meal. I sent the extra okras to my aunty’s and uncle Siriwardena’s home. After two days I made a special different dish for the evening tea! Even our brother had made a very tasty pomegranate tea. When the tea brewed with mint leaves and honey, the flavour was heavenly. What ever it is there was a rich cinnamon flavour as well. But there were no sign of cinnamon at all yet with the okra patties, my brothers pomegranate tea complimented each other like a match made in heaven.
Love you All!
