Lady's Finger is a good provider of good bacteria called the probiotics which help in digestion. It also consists of good amounts of vitamin A, required for growth and repair of skin as well as maintain vision. There are also fair amounts of vitamin C, which boosts immumnity.
There are good amounts for dietary fiber present, hence it is low in colories and considered good for people on weight loss.
Here is simple and an old traditional Konkani recipe that I learnt from my Mom. Lady's finger is also known as "Bhe'nd" in Konkani which is a favourite with all of us at home.
Made with very few and easily available ingredients at home, this dish goes well both with rotis as well as rice and dal.
