Okra or Lady Finger as what others called is a flowering plant in a mallow family.

  3. Cut it lengthwise just a slit in each okra pod but not to cut through ends, get the seeds,stuff it with cheese sticks and uncooked beef loaf(mashed) and set aside.
  4. Combine cornstarch and egg in a large bowl and stir together until smooth.
  5. Pour oil in to a pan with medium heat. Dip stuffed okra in batter, coating it well.
