The rain turned to snow for few minutes, giving us a brief glimpse of coming season. It was cold enough, so to warm the house and the stomach, I cranked up the oven to 400&deg; F and baked cornbread with okra toppings. This is my first attempt at cornbread and it was a success, thanks to the detailed recipe written by <a href=\"http:\/\/tigerberries.blogspot.com\/2005\/07\/gussied-up-appalachian-classic_07.html\">Barbara<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/tigerberries.blogspot.com\/\">Tigers and Strawberries<\/a>. I changed the recipe to my liking and also added crisply fried okra as cornbread topping. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><u>Okra topping :<\/u><br \/>\n1 cup thinly sliced okra rounds, one onion, three green chillies and two garlic cloves all finely chopped.  Saute them in oil, until they turn crisp and crunchy, like you normally do for a dry curry.<\/p>\n<p><u>Cornbread Batter :<\/u><br \/>\n\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a2\tMix together 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 1\/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1 tsp each- baking powder and soda, 1\/2 tsp  salt.<br \/>\n\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a2\tIn another bowl, mix &#8211; 2 eggs (I removed yellows), 1 cup buttermilk, 4 tablespoons of molasses\/sugar and 4 tablespoons of peanut oil.<br \/>\n\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a2\tCombine the dry and wet ingredients.<br \/>\n\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a2\tI also added half cup <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nandyala.org\/mahanandi\/archives\/2005\/10\/09\/indian-ingredients\/\">watermelon seeds<\/a> that I brought from Nandyala to this mixture for some nutty crunch and nutritional value..<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/cornbread\/skilletcornbread1.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"Covering saut\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9ed okra with cornbread batter\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/cornbread\/skilletcornbread2.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"Saut\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9ed okra fully covered with cornbread batter\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><u>Baking:<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 400 &deg; F. When you are ready with cornbread batter and saut\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9ed okra, place the empty iron skillet in oven and heat it up (<a href=\"http:\/\/tigerberries.blogspot.com\/2005\/07\/gussied-up-appalachian-classic_07.html\">Barbara&#8217;s tip<\/a>). Remove the hot skillet from the oven. First place the okra in the skillet, then pour the cornbread batter over it. Spread the batter neat and even with a spatula. Place the iron skillet in oven, bake at 400&deg; F, for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/cornbread\/skilletcornbread3.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"Baked Skillet Cornbread with Okra\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/cornbread\/skilletcornbread4.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"Skillet Cornbread with Okra topping\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Because this is for our lunch, I also baked some cauliflower florets and some baby lima beans along with cornbread. Just tossed the baby limas and cauliflower florets in some oil, salt and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and baked until they turn crisp. <\/p>\n<p>We both liked cornbread with okra very much. <em>Thanks <a href=\"http:\/\/tigerberries.blogspot.com\/\">Barbara<\/a> for the wonderful cornbread recipe<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Baked lima beans are good too, but cauliflower florets\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00c2\u00a6oy!.
