Sug, I found these at my organic store last week, and just made this. And, yes! I have eaten it in India, its called gangapaayala kura (or something like that :D) in telugu. I added half a bunch of spinach to it too, since I had very little of the purslane. It tasted super good, thank you soo much for the recipe and for heads up about these leaves :)

I'm quite sure I've never actually eaten purslane ...

I've never seen purslane in my markets, not even half as dramatic as these beautiful stems. Now I am even more curious about it. I *have* seen it growing wild along highways and in vacant lots, but dare not pick them. :|

What a wonderful expose of your new farmers market finds, then all created to a beautiful dish! I have never seen the american cucumbers before! wow!

Wow, that is one giant okra you have there!! I don't even know if the farmer's markets here are open yet.. weather is still crazy here...

What a fitting tribute and what a lovely post! Love the pictures Sugs, i just feel like reaching out for those veggies to cook them myself. :-) Or better still i could just come over, that plate looks tempting.

I love these greens! First found out they were the same as purslane from Vineela's blog, long ago. And the eggplant is to die for, will come back to see if you have a recipe for that on your blog!

I wish we got more variety of cucumbers here... A couple months ago I was able to get some of the seedless ones but the farmer told me that after the first crop (which I got from), they have not been growing well :(

Okra you bought there is the same kind we get here.

Hope you are feeling much better.

2008-04-25T17:23:00.000-07:00

The ones we have as "Farmers Market" here are not like the ones you talk about. That is the growers are not the sellers and I doubt that the produce is totally local

Only during summer some local farms open their stall adjacent to the farms but it is mostly fruits and tomatoes and limited veggies.

Loved all the produce you have here

I will definitely try your purslane recipe, Sugan...

2008-04-25T17:19:00.000-07:00

I will definitely try your purslane recipe, Suganya. I usually just add it to salads. Yours is much more exciting!

Gorgeous produce and lovely kootu, Suganya! I have the same issue as Indo... My farmer's market doesn't open until sometime in May.

Lucky you, Suganya our farmers markets - atleast the ones I don't have to drive 10 miles open only end of May or early June.

The kootu looks great, I will look for purslane. I have come across Persian cucumber which also resemble our vellarikai but with a slightly thicker skin.
