Aloo Bhindi ki Sabzi is one of my favourite simple, easy-to-make vegan and gluten-free dishes. It's mildly spiced, healthy, and incredibly flavorful. This recipe pairs perfectly with Indian bread like roti and is a delightful accompaniment to dal rice. To ensure the bhindi is not slimy when cooked, I marinate...

Tips & Tricks

  1. Choose fresh and tender okra to ensure a better taste and texture.

  2. Avoid bhindi with dark spots, as they take longer to cook and do not taste as good.

  3. Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less chillies.

  4. Adding rice powder helps prevent the okra from becoming slimy during cooking.

  5. Do not overcook the bhindi; cook just until they are tender.
