Malai Dahi Bhindi- stir fried okra cooked in a delicious tangy creamy sauce

Malai Dahi Bhindi – I tried this delicious okra recipe with Abevia Milk Which is very creamy and delicious . I loved its rich taste and used in making tea and coffee . Later I tried in many recipes as an substitute of cream and milk and every time it gave very good results.

I usually makes stir fries or some times stuffed okras but never tried adding okra in any sort of gravy. So want to try making a rich curd and cream gravy okra curry for a get together. The curd gravy looks delicious but instead of milk i added some Abevia milk in the curry and it turn so rich and creamy.

Everyone loved the creamy tangy taste of the malai dahi bhindi and now it will become regular in my menu. I served this Malai dahi bhindi with naan and jeera rice but it will also go well with roti and plain boiled rice. Do try this once and you will love this

If Abevia evaporated milk is not available in your area then add double quantity of full fat milk or fresh cream instead of abevia. You will get similar result.#abeviamilk
