Bhindi ! Although it's categorized as a seasonal vegetable, it's available throughout the year these days.This season my kitchen garden is full of okra plants, that means, I get to enjoy bhindi almost every week.
And I was tired of eating the same bhindi fry again and again, so though of trying some new bhindi recipes too.

P R E P A R A T I O N
- Combine curd, gram flour, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder and salt in a large bowl.
- Add 3 cups of water and whisk it all together, until it forms a smooth paste No lumps should be there. Heat a pan and transfer the mix to it and mix and cook on medium heat and bring the Kadhi mixture to a boil.
- While the Kadhi is boiling, keep whisking it continuously, so it becomes smooth. Continue to whisk it until you notice it has begun to thicken and the Kadhi is smooth.
- Turn the heat to low at this stage and allow the Kadhi to simmer while we get the remaining ingredients ready.
- Now, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok. Add in the chopped bhindi (okra - ½ inches), sprinkle some salt and stir fry on medium heat until the bhindi is cooked through and has a slightly crispy texture.
- You might want to add a little more oil if required to get the right texture of the bhindi. Once ready, keep it aside.
- Add the roasted Bhindi into the Kadhi and give it stir. Boil for about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Heat ghee in a saucepan over medium heat and add in the cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, and dry red chilies and allow them to crackle. Stir until the red chilies are roasted well. Turn off the heat.
- And pour over the seasoning to the boiling Kadhi mixture.
- Turn off the heat, cover the pan and let it sit for another 5 min. Enjoy bhindi kadhi with white steamed rice and do let me know how you liked the recipe.
Tips
- Fry bhindi thoroughly to get rid of the stickiness.
- Continuously stir the kadhi mix to avoid lumps.
