A delicious vegetarian curry made creamier with a dash of yoghurt. Bhindi Masala recipe is healthy, gluten-free and vegetarian. Tender okra pieces lathered in a flavourful and aromatic masala.

Popular across India and Pakistan this is a simple bhindi masala recipe that is full of flavours, tastes delicious and is healthy! A vegetarian curry recipe that is made of okra pieces in a spicy tomato and onion gravy that is cooked until tender.

This semi-dry veg curry recipe is made with ladyfingers, otherwise known as okra, and is the perfect pair with chapatti or rice. With its mild spice but delicious flavour this bhindi ki sabji is sure to impress anyone.

Bhindi masala curry is one of my favourite curries out there. It is a very common Pakistani and Indian curry, but a lot of people haven’t even heard of okra. Okra is one of those vegetables that are common in desi households, but not quite so in the UK. That is a shame because okra is one of my favourite vegetables out there.

Okra has many names, ladyfingers or bhindi. It’s rich in antioxidants that help to reduce the risk of serious health conditions, such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Not only that but it’s packed with fibre!

This bhindi curry is a vegetarian curry that is usually served as a side but can also be eaten as a main. Try this bhindi masala as a vegetarian curry alternative for your next curry night!

Some people like to fry the okra. I have a similar recipe that involves frying the okra as well. It is up to you whether you choose to fry the okra. Frying the okra gives you crisp okra pieces, but you get soft and tender okra pieces with this curry recipe. However, if you choose to prepare the okra you will love this recipe!
