Learn to cook Bhindi stir fry – Simple, delicious and healthy recipe. Bhindi is also known as Okra, Lady’s finger in english and bendakaya in telugu.

Firstly, use tender bhindi for more rich flavor and taste. Always wash and pat dry the bhindi before you chop it. Make sure you dry the bhindi properly with a cloth after washing with water. As little moisture also can make it slimy. Chop the top and tail ends of each bhindi/okra. Cut okra into small pieces and spread out on a plate for a few minutes, approx. 3-4 mins so that it is free of any moisture.

Bhindi is low in calories and high in fiber. Therefore, it makes you feel full for a longer time and helps you lose weight. Bhindi is a staple in Indian cooking with almost all the regional cuisines of India boasting of a variety of dishes in the form of a stir-fry, curry, Bhindi Masala Recipe, stuffed or deep-fried. I most often make stir fries tweaking the spices each time I cook bhindi. But I always come back to this super easy, simple bhindi fry recipe that is a family favorite.
