#dalcurry
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), is known in many countries as ladies' fingers or ochro, is a flowering plant in the mallow family.
It is valued for its edible green seed pods. The geographical origin of okra is disputed, with supporters of West African, Ethiopian, and South Asian origins.

Raw okra is 90% water, 2% protein, 7% 
carbohydrates and negligible fat.

In a 100 gram amount, raw okra is rich (20% or more of the Daily Value, DV) in 
dietary fiber, vitamin C and vitamin Ke, with moderate contents of thiamin, folate 
and magnesium.

Today am going to share a delicious recipe with this okra and Lentil. It's a dal curry can be eaten with steamed rice roti or paratha whatever you can. Let's cook 😊.

[ Note - Panch phoron is a whole spice blend, used in the cuisine of Bangladesh, Eastern India and Southern Nepal. The name literally means "five spices"( Panch Phoron in Bangladeshi Language) and is also known as in; Maithili panch phoron), Nepali Padukone Masala), Assamese (pas phoṛôn) and  Odia pancha phutana).]
