Bhindi is one of my favourite vegetables and it’s been a part of my regular meals since I was a kid. I like it best with some onion-tomato and spices while my sister likes it best simple. No fuss. Super easy. This is a version of her favourite way to make bhindi 🙂
The spices are always around at home and the only thing that takes time is the bhindi cooking through. Super easy!
It is fragrant, slightly spicy, a dash tangy, a tad crispy, a little soft and altogether super tasty!
We used to have this at least once a week growing up. Best had with Dal+chawal or just simply with chapatis.
This is a super easy thing to make on a weekday, for dinner. Or any other time you just need a simple home cooked dish.
So here’s to many memories of my childhood and much love to my baby sis ♥️
Try this and I’m sure you will enjoy it too!
