Lady’s finger fry is a crispy, crunchy tea time snack and can be prepared in a jiffy. I just prepared these fries yesterday without any pre planning. Thought of the snack at 4 o’clock and and it was ready by 5 o’clock along with photographs. When we all finished having tea, bowl of ladies finger fries too was empty. This is also known as “bende kayi gatti baje” in Tulu. Let me brief you about the recipe.
