Okra ( Ladies Finger ) Fry

Jayanthy Asokan
Okra is another vegetable loved by kids, next to potatoes. It's a healthy vegetable you can use in different ways, like making a salad, curry, soup, etc. But I think it is more fun to make stir-fry with minimal ingredients. Stir-frying is a quick way to make a delicious meal.
