    STUFFED okra CURRY

    simple, easy-to-make homestyle poriyal recipe using vendakkai | okra | bhindi . Stuffed Bhindi, also known as Stuffed Okra or Bharwa Bhindi, is a popular Indian dish where ladyfinger (okra) is stuffed with a flavorful spice mixture and then cooked until tender.

    Gujarati style bhindi

    Gujarati stuffed bhindi, also known as "Bharela Bhindi," is a popular dish from the Indian state of Gujarat. It's a slightly different take on stuffed okra, typically featuring a tangy and spicy filling. Add peanuts, coconut, sesame seeds, amchur powder, and sugar in addition to other masala.

    WASH AND WIPE THE OKRA

    Always wash okra well then wipe it well with a kitchen towel. before chopping make sure no moisture in vendakkai 

    CAN I use the whole okra?

    If you are using small okra, just trim the cap and use whole okra. I used big vendakkai so I chopped them into 2 inch size pieces.

    WIDE PAN FOR vendakkai varuval

    For the perfect curry texture, I recommend a wide pan so that okra doesn't overlap and cooks evenly. 

    CAN I COOK PODI bhindi CURRY ON A HIGH FLAME?

    No, Slow cooking is key for the perfect tasty brinjal fry. I prefer keeping the flame on low flame.

    Stuffed vendakkai serving suggestion

    It tastes best with a variety rice,  kuzhambu, rasam, etc. It also tastes best with the paratha variety.

    CAN I ADD ONION FOR STUFFED bhindi FRY?

    Yes, you can add onion, garlic, ginger, etc. According to your taste.

    OIL FOR BENDAKAYA FRY

    I have used peanut oil. You can use sesame oil/ coconut oil or any oil of your choice.

    tips for perfect stuffed okra

    • always cover and cook on low flame
    • Make sure vendakkai doesn't have moisture
    • flip in between and fry till the masala turns brown
