  • 1/2 tsp dry mango powder(amchur)

Instructions
 

  • Wash the lady's finger and green chillies. Wipe them dry with a kitchen towel.

  • Make vertical slits in the lady's fingers and green chillies.
  • Mix all dry ingredients and stuff them through the slits.
  • Heat the oil in a kadai or wok.
  • Toss in the stuffed lady's finger.
