Benda gojju (okra salad)

Here is a easy recipe of lady finger my grandma used to make. Learnt it from my mother hope you will try and like it.

Main ingredient lady finger(okra) and curd.

Note:

• Do not use sour curd. Always taste the curd before using. I prefer milky mist or jersey curd.
• Green chilly used are less spicy so adding 4 no. you can add less.
• Lady finger are slimy so I mashed it with the help of spoon. You can mash them with your hands before adding curd for more flavor.
