Spicy Bhindi fry/Spicy Okra fry/Spicy Lady's finger fry

The worldwide used versatile vegetable called OKRA is characterized by green color, elongated and tapering ridged pods infused with double row of seeds and slimy texture when cut open.
Besides being low in calories it is a storehouse of plenty of vitamins of the category A,  B2, B6, C, folic acid, riboflavin, calcium, zinc and dietary fiber.
