Achari bhindi- Stir fried okra made with tomato and pickle spices.

Achari Bhindi /okra is a favorite vegetable of most of us,it is a versatile vegetable which can be made in several ways.I usually made stir fries and stuffed bhindi. The favorite okra/bhindi recipes of my family are kurkuri Bhindi ,

Some people avoid using bhindi due to its sliminess,but there are few tips to avoid that,first and most important is that you have to wash and wipe okra very well before cutting,never wash it after chopping and don’t cook on low flame as it increase its sliminess so cook on medium flame ,don’t add water to cook okra as it will cook in its own moisture and add some mango powder and coriander powder while stir frying it.

This Achari bhindi is among the most frequently ordered okra dish in restaurant menu .Panchphoran or whole pickle spices are used in the tempering and then little powdered pickle masala is added while stir frying it to get the achari flavor. Try this simple but flavorful dish and enjoy with curd and parathas

Okra /bhindi is the favorite vegetable of my family so made often these recipes-

  • Bhindi aloo Ki Sabzi
  • Bhindi Sambhariya,  
  • Achari Bhindi ,
  • Bhindi Masala  
  • Bhindi ka Raita
  • Bhinda Kadhi

    I am in absolute awe of your blog! Thank you so much for this varied collection of Satvik recipes. I have recently adapted to the Brahmakumari lifestyle and was in search of a collection of no onion- no garlic recipes and you have come to my rescue! This achaari bhendi recipe is marvellous, it’s so simple yet very tasty.
    One humble correction: Kalonji is NOT onion seeds, also known as nigella, it is a very Satvik spice which is very good for health.

    I sometimes use the excess oil of the pickle to make a curry and love the change in taste. This should be good!
