Bhindi ki sabji is a north Indian vegetarian side dish recipe made using bhindi. Bhindi is commonly called bhindi or ladies finger or okra. After a long time, I am writing down a recipe on bhindi. Sharing this recipe along with a video.

It is a very simple sabzi recipe and it does not require many ingredients to make this easy and quick veg sabzi.

This is a veg side dish recipe to serve with rotis or phulka and if you are looking for more such veg recipes for chapati recipe or parathas from the blog then do try Indian vegetarian recipes from my blog...

bhindi ki sabji or bhindi sabzi

I have made use of onions to make bhindi ki sabzi and is a very popular north Indian side dish that is eaten with roti or chapathi.

In northern India, roti or phulka is highly preferred and one needs to have many side vegetarian dishes to serve with them and therefore, different kinds of veg sabzi recipes are made with chapati.

Bhindi is often made in various ways like in down south I have made bhindi masala, bhindi fry, bendakaya vepudu, bhindi gosht is a Hyderabadi form and bhindi ki sabji is north Indian method.

There is not much difference in south Indian and north Indian cooking techniques with vegetables. South Indians too eat all these veggies and curries but in north India less spicy is preferred.

About sabzi

In north India, tempering is given to most of the veg fry recipes or curry recipes or sabzi recipes.

I have some sabzi recipes posted on my blog that is suitable with roti or chapathi and in future, I will be adding more sabzi recipes that should be made various vegetables available all across India.

Bhindi can be made in many varieties like it can just be fried in several ways and also into curries in several different ways and it is mostly used to make different kinds of fry varieties or curry varieties.

It is never used in combination with other vegetables and it is only combined with potato rarely.

Important points to remember while making bhindi

  • Bhindi is a very sticky vegetable and it often gets sticky while cutting or chopping.
  •  One should always wash bhindi first, then wipe it with a cloth until it gets dry and free from any moisture. This is an important step to make bhindi. Next step is to chop off its head and tail. Then chop it into pieces.
  • If you cut bhindi or ladies finger directly after washing and without wiping it dry then, the whole curry or sabzi turns sticky.
  • Please take care of these tips while making any okra recipe.

Faq's

Why is bhindi sticky?

Bhindi contains sticky substances and gets more slimy when it starts releasing moisture or contacts with water while cooking. It is always suggested to wash bhindi before cutting and wiping completely dry with an absorbent cloth.

How to cook bhindi without sticking?

Just cut bhindi after drying it with a cloth and make sure the knife is not wet while chopping bhindi as well as cook the bhindi without covering. Covering releases more moisture and makes the bhindi a bit slimy. Cook it open while frying and the moisture evaporates and leaves non sticky bhindi.

How to make it non slimy?

Just sprinkle lemon juice in the end after cooking or add besan flour. Besan absorbs all the moisture and makes the sabzi dry.
