deepa... well, its a particular variety of cactus called \'Nopales\' .. also called Prickly Pear Cactus.. the pads are broad, thin, 5-8 inch long.. best place to buy these are at a mexican market.. canned nopales are also available in general grocery stores..

they are grilled when added to salad/tacos/omlette and chopped & boiled when added to soups etc..

hello vlbedoc (will be doctor soon

seetaram ji.. u figured it out!

well, still hoping to.. i failed my exam!

i worked so hard

.. but i am trying again.. i am advising aastha abt patience, but i am losing mine.. (if only i can get paid for advising!

)

ha ha ha!! cactus is good for u seetaram ji.. very low carbohydrate, high in vitamins, fiber, protein and water.. good for diabetics, and cholesterol pts too..

well said Seetaramji, in fact i am a disaster when it comes to cooking skills and added to that not sure why I choose an odd veg.

lately i also tried Punjabi wade i miss understood that goes with Punjabi kahadi and deep fried it and guess what the Punjabi wade became like a stone!!!
