Dahi Bhindi Recipe

Dahi Bhindi recipe is one of my favorite ways of making and eating Bhindi or Okra. Why? you don’t have to worry about the bhindi being sticky. And the aromatic spices that make this curd based curry special, of course. Sanjeev Kapoor’s Dahi Bhindi recipe uses a bit of besan. But it is used in so may other veggies! I tend to use it only when the curry needs to be thickened. This Masala Bhindi recipe can be done without besan and bhindi’s sticky, gooey material is enough to make this Bhindi Curry thick.
