Thanks to the education system that kids are more well versed with english terms rather than hindi ones...
I made veggie and my son asked me what have you made with such a nice aroma? I said Bhindi. He asked me whats Bhindi??
I replied, its Lady finger... Out of curiosity he showered me with questions: why is it called lady finger?, Is it because it is like fingers...but why only lady's? mine are also like yours!! and on and on....
But the main thing was that while talking and talking, he finished his parantha with bhindi masala...!!
