Raw lady's finger — the green pod used in bhindi masala. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
