About This Recipe
Nearly everywhere I looked, during my recent visit to the Rythu Bazaar, there were farm fresh, tender okra waiting to be picked. Bought half a kilo.
I am very fond of North Indian stir fries. Earlier on I had blogged a sukhi (dry) sabzi recipe, Aloo Bhindi, that called for tomatoes. Yesterday, I prepared a slightly different version of Aloo Bhindi sans tomatoes. A nice change from the routine. I enjoyed the stir fry along with Palak Dal and rice. The spices melded beautifully with the potato and okra. Versatile recipe, you can use spices of your choice. Added a few curry leaves for that aromatic touch.
