Bhindi Masala
A popular vegetarian favorite, Bhindi Masala is a simple yet flavorful North Indian dish that celebrates the earthy taste of fresh okra (bhindi). Tender pieces of okra are sliced and sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and a blend of aromatic spices that bring out their natural flavor while keeping them delightfully crisp.
The dish is prepared by stir-frying the okra in hot oil to reduce stickiness, then cooking it together with onions, ginger, garlic, and sometimes green chilies for gentle heat. Ground spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala add warmth and depth, while fresh tomatoes create a light, tangy masala that coats the okra beautifully without making it soggy.
Finished with fresh coriander leaves for a burst of freshness, Bhindi Masala is best enjoyed hot with roti, paratha, or steamed rice. Light, wholesome, and packed with flavor, this dish is a perfect choice for anyone craving a comforting, home-style vegetarian curry.
