Bhindi is my favorite vegetable. Your method , preparation and the presentation is lovely.
This is my favorite way of cooking bhindi. Sometimes I just add the masala for filling along with the sliced bhindi and cook everything together. Looks delicious!!
I do the same stuffing when I make bhagara baingan…i add some besan as well. Looks awesome, want to try this soon.
