About this Recipe
Ladies finger or Okra is a long finger-Like green vegetable with a small tip at the tapering end that is widely used in Indian vegetables, raita, and kadhis.
Ladys finger is a popular vegetable, particularly in India. You can find it in all local vegetable markets, as well as food malls and supermarkets. Its cost is comparable to that of other vegetables. Choose the ones that are long and dark green in colour. Avoid purchasing those with blemishes, bruises, and cuts, as well as internal stickiness that may have occurred during transportation.
Ladies Finger Benefits
Ladies finger is beneficial to the eyes, skin, and RBC production. It has green seed pods that are edible. Okras geographical origins are debated, with supporters claiming West African, Ethiopian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian origins. The plant is grown in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions all over the world,
and it is a popular ingredient in Southern American cuisine, Middle Eastern cuisine, Indian cuisine, Brazilian cuisine, and Sri Lankan cuisine.
Always choose medium-diameter ladys fingers that are not too long, because bulgy ladys fingers contain large seeds that detract from the delicacy of this vegetable. Avoid shrinking okra due to moisture loss during storage. Examine for worm or insect infestations.

Ladies Finger:
Ladyfingers have a very mild flavour by themselves, but they can be made fancier by adding ingredients like lemon, cinnamon, cardamom, or orange peel. Because of their dryness, they are extremely absorbent, which is useful in the preparation of desserts.
Urad dal :
When cooked, urad has an earthy flavour and an unusual mucousy texture.
Coriander Powder :
Coriander Powder is a flavouring agent used in a variety of cuisines. It is one of the oldest known herbs and spices. It is mentioned in the Bible, and seeds from the plant have been discovered in ruins dating back to 5000 B.C. Its name is derived from the Greek word koris, which means stink bug.
