Recipe - Delicious Bharwa Bhindi

Bharli bhendi is known as stuffed okra in English and bharwa bhindi in Hindi. It is the most popular and nutritious vegetable prepared almost in every household across India. This is a diabetic-friendly, fiber-rich, no onion no garlic, vegan and gluten-free recipe.

Bharli bhendi (stuffed okra) is often made at my place and served as a side dish dal rice, moong dal khichdi, biryani or pulao.

Method

To roast gram flour (besan)

- In a thick bottom pan or kadhai add 2 tablespoon of gram flour (besan) and roast it on a low flame till it leaves its delicious aroma. It takes hardly 7-8 minutes, transfer on to a dish to cool it off.

- Note: Normally it is advised to roast besan (gram flour) for this recipe, however I prefer to skip this step and add the besan (gram flour) as it is. Hence it’s upto your preference if you want to roast or add as gram flour as it is.

For Making Bhindi

- Wash and pat dry bhendi / okra.

- Cut the edges and make a slit in between.

- In a bowl add besan (gram flour), goda masala or garam masala whichever is available, red chilli powder, cumin powder, raw mango powder (amchur powder), white sesame seeds, salt, sugar, roasted peanut powder and mix well.

- Check for seasoning.

- Now fill this spicy, sweet, tangy filling into the slit bhendi / okra.

- In a pan/tava add oil and place the stuffed bhendi/okra. Place the bhendi / okra in a single layer. Make sure not to cover the pan.

- Drizzle extra oil over the bhendi if required. After every 3-4 minutes keep turning the okra until done to make sure it is cooked evenly from all the sides.

- This takes approximately 15-20 minutes. Make sure to cook on low flame as possible as we do not want to burn the bhendi or the masala.

- Use the tip of knief or toothpick to see if the okra is cooked or not.

- If the toothpick or knife goes across the okra without resistance, bharli bhendi / stuffed okra is ready

- Serve as it is as a snack or as a side dish with meals.
