Treat your ingredients with care...
- Okra — Make sure to slice the okra evenly to ensure even cooking. Sautéing the okra separately helps retain its crunchiness and prevents it from becoming slimy.
Tips & Tricks
- To make the kadhi more tangy, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- Adjust the spice levels according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of red chili powder.
- For a richer flavor, you can temper the kadhi with a tadka (tempering) of ghee, cumin seeds, and dried red chilies before adding the yogurt mixture.
Serving advice
Serve Bhindi Kadhi hot with steamed rice or roti. It pairs well with a side of pickle or papad for an added burst of flavor.
Presentation advice
