How to Make Bhindi Kadhi
HideShow Media1.
In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and stir-fry the chopped bhindi on medium flame. Cook till they are no longer sticky and have turned slightly crisp. Turn off the flame and set aside.
2.
In a large bowl, mix curds, water, turmeric and chilli powder. Whisk well to ensure no lumps are formed. Add more water to get the required consistency.
3.
In a kadhai, heat oil and add the jeera and mustard seeds to begin the tadka.
4.
Once the seeds crackle, add chopped ginger, curry leaves, broken dry red chillies and asafoetida. Stir lightly.
5.
Add the besan-dahi mixture prepared earlier to the kadhai. Add sugar and salt to taste.
6.
Stir well to mix the ingredients. Add more water as required and bring the kadhi to a boil.
7.
Reduce the flame and allow the kadhi to simmer, while stirring occasionally.
8.
Add the cooked bhindi pieces to the kadhi and mix. Simmer for 5-10 minutes more or until the kadhi cooks and thickens.
