Bhindy Bhaji puts okra centre stage, simmered with spices that elevate its unique texture and delicately earthy flavour. A vegetarian dish less well known in the West but much loved in India, well worth discovering for its original character and authentic flavour.
A dish with a story
Okra has been grown and eaten in India for centuries, especially prized in northern and western Indian cuisines.
Bhindy bhaji is a traditional family dish, often prepared dry to best preserve the vegetable’s particular texture.
Less present on Western menus than other more familiar vegetables, it remains a fixture of authentic Indian restaurants.
Okra’s slightly stringy texture sometimes surprises palates trying it for the first time: it’s a natural feature of the vegetable, not a preparation flaw.
