Okras, nice and extra-long lady's fingers
Local variety of okras from South India bigger than the varieties one finds in supermarkets. (This lot measure between 9 and 10 inches) Visit many more exciting worlds
Thank you all! They were fresh, well, from the market - very crunchy and edible. but yes, to retain some tenderness, we removed the stem end before storage (a couple of days)
Oh - Yosee, Sylvia - the visual simile was totally unintentional! (Thanks for pointing it out though!) Brigitta - The link up there has plenty of info and recipes
Nice visual similie !
