Instructions
In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over moderately low heat.
Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the fennel seeds, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne and cook, stirring, for 1 minute longer. Increase the heat to moderate.
Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until no liquid remains in the pan, about 5 minutes.
Add the okra, peas, water, and salt and simmer just until the vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and cilantro.
Wine Recommendation: It's been said that gewrztraminer is the best match for curry, and we won't disagree. Try one from Alsace for its power and depth of flavor.
Notes: Since perfectly fresh, sweet peas are so hard to find, frozen peas are almost always an acceptable substitute. In fact, frozen peas are generally of such high quality, we rate them as our favorite frozen vegetable.
Recommended wine: Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, Sparkling Rose
Gruener Veltliner, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Indian. The best wine for Indian food will depending on the dish, of course, but these picks can be served chilled and have some sweetness to complement the spiciness and complex flavors of a wide variety of traditional dishes. The Habit Gruner Veltliner Rancho Arroyo Perdido with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.
