HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE DAHI BHINDI RECIPE
Wash and pat dry the bhindi and cut the ends. Then chop the bhindi into 1 inch medium pieces. Take a mixing bowl and add the curd. Add 1 cup of water to it and whisk it well. Add the gram flour, green chilli-ginger paste, turmeric powder and salt. Whisk again until smooth.
Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When seeds begin to crackle, add the red chillies and bhindi. Stir fry the bhindi on medium flame, till they become tender.
Once the bhindi is well cooked, add the besan-curd mixture. Lower the flame and cook the mixture by stirring continuously. Ensure that no lumps are formed.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on a low flame till the mixture starts thickening. Do not simmer or over boil. Once the curry swells a bit, then switch off the flame.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve dahi bhindi hot with rice or rotis.
NOTES/TIPS
Always select small and tender okras for better taste and flavour.
Pat dry the bhindis well before chopping them. Else it will be sticky.
Cook the curry always on a low flame and do not allow to simmer for a long time.
Once the curry swells a bit, switch off the flame. Whisk the curd well before adding the spices.
