  5. step-4
    Remove top and tail section of each bhindi and slit it length wise from one side (make sure to not to cut it into two pieces.) Take each bhindi and stuff it with approx. 1/2 to 1 teaspoon stuffing (prepared in 3).
  6. step-5
    Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy based or non-stick pan (kadai) over medium flame. Add cumin seeds; when they begin to crackle, add stuffed bhindi. Sprinkle salt (only for bhindi because stuffing is already salted) over it and cook for a minute over medium flame. Stir once in between.

Tips and Variations:
  • Choose small and tender bhindi for faster cooking and better taste.
  • If you are customizing this recipe as per your taste, then do not reduce the quantity of oil. Because without sufficient oil, it will not cook properly.
  • You can prepare stuffing in advance and store it in airtight container in refrigerator for 2-3 days. Not only this will reduce the cooking time, but also you can make this curry multiple times.
  • Never add water while cooking bhindi otherwise it will turn sticky.
  • Use of non-stick pan or heavy based pan is recommended for best results.
Taste: Aromatic flavors of spices with amazing combination of sweet, sour and spicy tastes.
Serving Ideas: Serve Indian bharwan bhindi with roti or chapati and cucumber raita for lunch. It can also be served with steamed rice and green mint chutney. It is popular across all parts of India but it’s more famous in Gujarat state and it’s locally known as Bharela Bhinda.

You are right bhindi is the only vegetable which need more oil while cooking. I usually add coconut instead of besan. Next time I will try with besan. This looks absolutely fantastic.
