About the Recipe
Bhindi Aloo is a popular Indian dish made with okra, potato , onion, tomatoes & spices! This stir fry is best enjoyed with rice or roti .
In my home , we all love Bhindi and to add to it this sabzi has kids favorite aloo too . This fry is home style, with very basic masalas and ingredients that one can easily find in their pantry. Whenever , there is little less quantity of bhindi , just add 1-2 potatoes along with it and make sabzi , you are good to go !!
Okra is one of those vegetables that you either love or hate. Thankfully in my home we all love this veggie. So any dish made out of okra gets vanished in no time. I find it surprising when i meet someone who says they hate okra. I have shared many side dish recipes from bhindi as of now like Bhindi Masala , bhindi kadhi, bhindi besanwali , Bharwan bhindi, bhindi do pyaza, bendekayi gojju and today it’s time for Aloo Bhindi

Points to note while making Bhindi Aloo
- Use fresh , tender bhindi only . Over ripe bhindi will be fibrous and won’t taste good.
- Wash and spread bhindi nicely on paper towel / cloth for some time before chopping. Let they get dry . If there is water, end result will be slimy.Moisture is what adds to the sliminess . If you have time , it’s better to keep them spread on paper for few hours.
- Cook potato first beacase potato takes more time to cook than okra.
- Roast potoes nicely initially ,will enhance the taste.
- If you want , you can add few chopped garlic flakes too .
- Roast bhindi nicely in oil initially on medium flame to prevent sliminess .This makes bhindi more flavorful.
