Bhindi Masala- Okra cooked with tomato and basic Indian spices

Bhindi Masala- Okra or bhindi is a seasonal vegetable, easily available during summer season,though now we get most of the vegetable through out the year but seasonal vegetable have a special taste. Bhindi is usually everybody’s favorite vegetable,specially kids like it the most.

Those who avoid okra is just due to its sliminess ,which can be easily avoided if cooked properly. People usually make 2 mistakes due to which okra becomes slimy the first is wet raw okra , it is essential to wipe dry the okra before chopping .

You should never wash it after chopping , and second is u should not add water to the dish while cooking as that to shall increase the sliminess of the dish , if these two steps are taken care of rest assured you will enjoy okra as much as i do.

Another step to remove the sliminess is after tempering it in oil saute it for some time before covering it with a lid and the last tip is to add some mango powder to give taste and to avoid sliminess and yes don’t over cook it.

Every one in my family loves them specially my kids love every preparation of okra so I often make bhindi –bhindi kadi , kurkuri bhindi and bhindi aloo are their  favourite dishes.

This Bhindi masala is a easy and popular recipe .It is a most ordered dish of every restaurant menu . The secret to this awesome recipe is the addition of a little sambhar powder which gives a nice flavor to the dish.
