Bhindi Masala Recipe How To Make Bhindi Masala

Manjula, Just a note of appreciation for this recipe (and your web site!) I grew up in the Southern US eating okra fried, or stewed with tomatoes, or in vegetable soup, but this is now our favorite way to eat okra at our house. The recipe + video presentation is so helpful, and your instructions are very easy to follow. Barry, Thank you, I appreciate and you made my day i am using frozen okra and I covered it and now its so slimy. how do I fix it Dhara, if you use frozen okra, do not defrost and cook open also salt should be added later to avoid the slimy Manjula, what is the best way to fix bindi, without it being so slimy. It turns my husband off. By the way, I think your recipes are wonderful, I have fixed so many with wonderful results. Diana, add salt and mango powder after bhindi is almost cook Bhindi becomes sticky if it comes in contact with water. So do not add water to it while cooking, cook on low heat, and if you want to cover it while cooking, do so after it has released some of moisture. How to keep green colour of cooked green vegetables? P K Gupta, the only way I know you have to reduce cooking time in order to keep the colour. Whether in water, steamed or stir-fried, cooking green vegetables for 5-7 minutes I add a pinch(about 1/8 tsp) of soda bicarbonate to the water in which the veggies (particularly beans) are to be voiled Hello Manjula Ji, i can not find fresh or frozen okras. Just canned okras. Can i use this canned okras too? And how should i use it for recipes? Thank´s Hi Manjula, I love your recipes. For this Bhindi masala, Can i add Potato?

Hello Manjula, Your site is amazing and is helping me to learn how to cook!!! I just have a quick question, in order to make bhindi do you need to use amchoor or can you leave it out? i only ask because i am not sure if i have any.

HI MANJULA MAM, BENDI FRY WAS SIMPLE AND TASTED EXCELLENT. AS U INDICATE THE SPECIFIED TIME REQUIRED FOR COOKING, IT HELPS US NOT OVERCOOK THE VEGETABLE AND SAVE ON TIME . PLEASE INCLUDE MORE VEGETABLE RECIPES AS WE NEED TO PREPARE VEGETABLE SIDE DISH EVERY DAY THANKS FOR TEACHING US HOW TO COOK SIMPLY & WONDERFULLY. THE RESULTS FROM COOKING AS PER YOUR METHOD IS BETTER WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER SITES Enjoy your recipes and how you demonstrate cooking them. Wanted to ask you if and how to use ‘frozen bhindi’. Thank you Hi Iris, Do not though the bhindi before cooking that makes bhindi very lacy. Cook same way but on medium high heat and don’t cover the pan, and give few minutes before stirring it. Thank you so much for the wonderful videos and recipes. I have always loved Indian cuisine and have cooked it on my own for many years — I’m sure making many mistakes. Also, since my mother and grandmothers were all Danish, German and English, I had no one to show me how to make things like naan or how to season and cook tomato chutney properly. I found your website and that changed! Thank you again! Hi Manjula Aunty, You are an amzing cook and also a great soul.We thank u loads to make us know ur tasty recipes.Thx tons. Very wonderful dish, Manjula. I doubled the recipe. I had to add a little water to de-glaze the pan since all the wonderful spices were sticking to it. I also used tomatoes since they’re my favorite. So wonderful. Thanks! Hello Manjula aunty, Discovered your site few days ago…made bhindi masala which turned out fab…like asparagus side dish too…you are awesome and ur site with video is just fabulous! keep up the good work and God bless!

Hugs! i have jus found ur recipes on you tube its amazing the way u tell them on n focus on cookng dishes make them easy to learn Dear Manjula Aunty, I simply love ur website. What is yellow and red bell pepper. Can u let me know this. Regards. Bell pepper is capsicum or shimla mirch…in the US, besides green capsicum, variations of yellow and red capsicum are also found. If you cannot find yellow and red bell peppers, you can use the green kind or omit altogether if you don’t have them. namaste majulaji, thank you for wonderful recipes i tried carrot halwa it came well the guests were very happy i am south indian not too familiar with north indain dishes but i can cook well northdishes because of you thank you very much this website is so helpful for me to overcome my problems. anand BPO Solution Bhindi masala is one of my favorite dishes and this looks like a great recipe. (Last year you helped me learn how to make pani puris and gujar ka halwa, thank you.) If I don’t happen to have besan around would fine sooji work? I’m guessing it is there to absorb any remaining water and sort of crisp up the edges? What a great website! The recipes along with the video is wonderful. Now if I could only find a local Indian grocery I’d be all set! This is a brilliant easy to follow site, I had learnt how to make alot of these dishes a few years ago, when I was working as a house keeper. When I returned to the uk, I remembered how to make some of the dihes that I had been taught, but after living back in England I forgot some of them. Now that I am geting married soon, its important for me to learn how to cook again. Thank you Manjula for giving me a crash course in cooking, so that I am one step closer to being ready for married life!. Dear Majulaji, Thanks very much for your delicious recipes and also the little cooking tips that make all the difference for making the dish turn out well. Love your site. I am going to try the Dahi vadas today. I have tried them before and they never turn out good. Watching you make them has made me want to try them again. Thanks. Dear manjulaji, I recently found your website as I love cooking. Just a small tip… Sometimes I add a pinch of ajwain (instead of jeera) to Bhindi sabzi as it gives very nice taste.

I have struggled learning to cook Indian food until I found your website! Thank you so much for all the help! I keep my computer in my kitchen, gather my ingredients and cook along with you.

I now prepare bindi masala atleast once in a week, as my husband loves it. One small variation that I make is, I add finely chopped Onions and tomato, before adding bindi.

Add the salt and amchoor just before okra is almost ready. Hello Manjulaji, What can i do so that the okra does not get sticky or slimy when i am cooking with it. My family loves okra and i have been having trouble with making some dishes with it. Thank you Manjula Ji. Bhindi Recipe is very good. I tried it an its very delicious. Thank you for putting all these toegther Dear Manjuji, I started cooking your simple recipies. Ienjoy cooking.I appriciate your writing the ingredient list in the order in which I will,put them in the kadai,While cooking. you can use frozen okra make in the wider pan and stir very gently. Can I use frozen okra for this recipe? Hi Marina, To answer your question on garlic, many Indians do not eat onions and garlic. Asafeotida powder (hing) gives a garlic-like flavor to the food so that is what you will find in the ingredient list. You can add garlic if you want, but not too much and omit the hing powder if you use garlic or onions. The flavors in Indian cooking can be quickly overpowered by garlic so I rarly use it myself. Jaya 🙂 Namaste Manjula. I saw how you cook few of your dishes and they all make my mouth water…It’s super. I will cook them tonight because my husband and I love Indian food and I cook it often. I just have one question -in all of the recipie I looked you do not include garlicis there reason why? And also I love eggplan and Indian soups like rasam and maligatoni but did not find in your collection. If you would include them I would be very greatfull. Thanks again for your tasty input. Sat nam. Marina I had my American neighbours for dinner and this was a great dish! Looks beautiful and also tastes delicious. We eat Okra all the time, but this was totally different and tasty! Your instructions and tips are very helpful and motivates one to keep cooking! Thanks, Lakshmi HI Majula, I am a big fan of indian food. Ever since I went to one of my inidan friend’s place and ate a veg dish at her place, i have fallen in absolute love for indian food. Thanks for these wonderful recipes. I especially appreciate the videos, coz i still dont know a lot of stuff to do with indian kitchens and this helps a lot. I hate to go to restaurants, coz everytime i eat spicy Indian food, i get sick. and you have given me a chance to try cooking myself something i really like. Love You Manjula.. manjulaji, it is a great dish. easy to make.can you tell me if you have any recipe for bittergourd (karela) Maheen, Hing has a very strong smell and will stay that way even after many years! Store is in a glass jar with a tight fitting lid. It should keep well for a long time. To get used to how strong your batch of hing is, start by using a tiny pinch which may be only 6 – 10 granules. Increase the amount next time you cook if the flavor was not strong enough. Soon you will know how much to use. P.S. many years ago a gentlemen was travelling from India to US with hing in his suitcase (this was before there were many Indian grocery stores here) and the drug sniffing dog went after his suitcase in U.S. Customs. Finally after locating an Indian airport agent did Customs understand the smell was from “hing” and not drugs. Poor guy was shaken to his boots. Hi Manjula, I went to indian store and get a small box of asafetida (hing), it has extremly strong smell, do you know any tip to prevent this smell and where to store it so we can’t smell it? I stored it in my kitchen cabinet.
Thanks, Maheen Oh my God!!! This is the best Bhindi Masala I have ever made and it so easy!! My husband and me just loved it. Thanks a ton Manjula. Your recipes are wonderful. Manjula Aunty, I have found a new found recognition with my husband. Keep posting these delicious and easy to make recipes. Very very greatful. Elizabeth first cook Okra just with cumin seed and hing. next make gravey with all the spices and add few tomatoes slices dont and okra at the samt time and let it boil just once close the heat and cover the pot let it cook with steam. Pranam, The bhindi sabji you have shown is without the gravy. Can you please tell me how to make it with gravy? Should I make a paste out of besan, haldi, mirchi and dahi? Navaratan Dear Auntie-ji, Thank you very much for answering my previous question (about the smoking tawa). I have tried this recipe, and it came it out so delicious. It is such a simple recipe, and yet so full of flavor. I am adding it to my list of favorites!! I made it for lunch, for tomorrow, but I already finished off half of it because it was so tasty 🙂 Thank you! Hi Manjula, I love this website…it’s wonderful…thank you for your help in teaching others how to cook! Keep up the great work–It’s very appreciated! Dear Manjula… I’ve been looking for a teacher like mym mom or my aunt who can teach me cooking and also make authentic vegan dishes… I made 6 of your dishes to invite some friends over and I had hard time making them leave my place 🙂 I just wanted to say PLEASE keep up your passion for giving lessons on authentic indian cooking… we, the audience, are the blessed one to have someone like you 🙂 Shrastiyakal & God bless. Besan is a gram flour, you can find this in Indian grocery stores. If you do not have besan, try corn meal instead. Manjula Have a question…Why do you add besan flour?
