bhindi or okra is one favorite veggie at home, after gobi and arbi. all the folks prefer dry or semi dry

i still have to try making bhindi with yogurt. long time ago i has such a bhindi dish in a restaurant and it

masalas/spice powders.

i usually add kasuri methi to most of the north indian food that i make at home. adding kasuri methi is

optional in this dish. but if you want a restaurant type bhindi masala, then do add some kasuri methi.

lets start step by step bhindi masala recipe:

1. rinse 200-250 gms bhindi/okra well. spread them on a thali and let them dry on their own. i do thistechnique to dry the bhindi instead of wiping each one with a kitchen towel. when they are dry, then

chop them in one or two inch peices.

translucent.
