Who doesnt like lady s fingers? What a nice name for the vegetable!! I mean, they are truly like our fingers, delicate looking, long. Only they dont need manicures. I dont know a single kid who doesnt like lady s finger.
Its a personal favourite. When i made this at home, it vanished from the bowl in no less than 20 mins.
