Stuffed Lady Fingers(Okra) image

Not for weight watchers this one... This recipe elongs to the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, and is eaten with phulkas/chapaties. This vegetable has to be cooked very carefully. Adding water while cooking will spoil the whole vegetable. Choose small okra for this as it is cooked whole.
