My 5 year old son calls it LADYFINGER PIZZA!!
This is a very popular dish in Parsi Cuisine. Parsis love anything and everything with eggs !
High in proteins and teamed with veggies makes this a very healthy and power packed meal for children and adults!

an easy dish to make and carry for picnics and whilst travelling.

Handful of fresh coriander (finely chopped)
