BHINDI DAHI MASALA / DAHI WALI BHINDI 

BY SHWETA GALINDE

Dahi bhindi masala recipe

A very simple north indian recipe where fried okra/bhindi  is simmered in a tangy and spiced yogurt curry.  Another easy to make bhindi recipe that goes well with phulka roti or paratha. Here okra /bhinsi is stir-fried first, so they are not slimy anymore and becomes soft and tender. Then mixed into the medium spicy, tangy yogurt based thick gravy. The yogurt here makes the gravy slightly tangy and creamy. 

Okra is a nutritious food with many health benefits. It’s rich in magnesium, folate, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C, K1, and A. Okra may benefit pregnant women, heart health, and blood sugar control. 

Ladies finger, apart from being great in taste, contains a fibre called pectin. It is this very fibre that helps in keeping the cholesterol levels low (especially bad cholesterol), by reducing the absorption of cholesterol by the gut and removing any deposits and clots.
