Bendakaya Fry / Whole Okra Fry



Okra fry is my best friend Sru's favourite. She loves to have it with hot rice and dal. I first met her in Phoenix and we quickly became friends. We used to go out shopping together but never used to buy anything other than eatables...:) And ofcourse, we went to gym together but we did more talking than excercising. We used to have never ending conversations until one of our husbands interrupt. Can you imagine, we took 75 pics just in Michaels...:)We had loads and loads of fun. Its actually Sru who gave me an idea to start a blog...thank u Sru. I love Phoenix just because of the times i spent with her...love u dear!! Happy Wedding Anniversary!!!
