Vegetable also known as ladies' fingers (4)

I believe the answer is:

okra

(Other definitions for okra that I've seen before include "Pod eaten in soups, stews etc" , "Green pods, in stews" , "Long green tropical vegetable" , "Edible seed pods" , "vegetable dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
