In this dish we saute bhindi/ okra in oil till they are almost 90 percentage cooked this helps us to get rid of sliminess of okra
Earlier I was not found of bhindi due to it sliminess but them when my hubby made this version and I started loving this vegetable.
In this vegetable you can add tomato and kaju paste but I prefer making it simple just with curd and other few easily found spices. Here I have used home made curd as I alwys prefer curd made in my house but you can buy store brought make sure that your curd is slight tangy when you are making this vegetable.
Other important point pls check okra while trimming its head and tail for any worms.
Okra/ bhindi/ lady finger are low in calories and rich in vitamins and calcium.
