STEAMED LADIES FINGERS (Dev )

Steamed Ladies Finger:

After i tried Kugan's Steamed Ladies finger with sambal, steaming LF has become an almost everyday affair... Here are 2 variations I tried and it turned out good/...

1. wash and Slit the ladies finger(abt 10-12) lengthwise... make a filling using Everest Pav bhaji masala, lemon juice, lil oil and salt...Rub this mixture into the slits and let it sit for 15 mins. Now cut off the head and tail of the LF and place in a steamer and steam on high for 5 to 7 minutes. Switch off the steamer and let sit for 5 mins and serve...

2. wash and Slit the ladies finger(abt 10-12) lengthwise... Now cut off the head and tail of the LF and place in a steamer and steam on high for 5 to 7 minutes...
In a pan heat oil on low heat and add garlic strips from 1 large garlic... when it just starts changing color add the LF, salt, pepper, lemon juice and toss gently... Once the spices r mixed, add 1/2 tsp of sesame oil and mix. Take off flame and serve hot...

I was so surpried to see my lil one eat the 2nd version of LF like crazy... Steaming LF right does remove the sliminess to a great extent... Just make sure that the water in the steamer doesn't touch the veggies and also don't overcook the veggie...
