There are different ways to make Bhindi (okra), and this is one of my favorite. Its takes less time to cook, no chopping, just cut off
the crown and the base tip of bhindis (okra), give it a vertical slit, fill in
the spices and stir fry. It’s just so uncomplicated.

| Bhindi Stir Fry |
While making any dish of bhindi (okra), the most important
point to consider is that after washing the bhindis (okra), wipe them dry.
There should be no moisture left on them, else while cooking the bhindis (okra)
would become slimy and sticky.
In the spices I have added dry mango powder, as it gives the
sour shade and also enhances the aroma. For better understanding I have
uploaded the video.
The quantity specified of spices are given for ½ kg of
bhindi (okra) which also depends on how much do you fill it in each bhindi
(okra). In any case, if you run out of the spice mixture you can make it again
as per needed.
