Bharwa Bhindi (Bharela Bhinda / Stuffed Okra)

An all-time favourite of Bhindis stuffed with lip-smacking spices.

This lovely dish for Laavanya…..........................................................

She was request me give gujarti recipe for stuffed Bhindi…..so Laavanya this is for you my dear…..Enjoy original Gujju dish…So I request to all my friend if you request for gujarti dish and if possible for me than I will always try to complete your wish.

Laavnaya requested two recipes............second recipe I will post after some days my dear……Wait for that Laavanya.:)))

2-tbsp oil
1-tbsp mustard seeds
1-tbsp cumin seeds



Ingredients for filling:

1-tbsp red chilli powder
1\2-tbsp turmeric powder
3-tbsp lemon juice
2-tbsp cumin+coriander powder

Step 6: After that add stuffed bhindi in it gently.
Step 7: Turn the flame law and cook smoothly for 10 minutes so they become crispy.

Step 8: Add reaming filling mater in it. Mix well and cook in law flame.

Hi Kajal,

I love your blog and love to see the Gujarati dishes you make.I came across your blog through food blog desam. I have been born and brought up in Gujarat, so I really love the food you cook. I am looking forward to make so many dishes from your blog.I learnt to make bharela bhinda from one of my friends. This is the first dish I prepared for my in-laws :) I use jhini sev instead of the besan so its easier - I am sure you already know about this.

Dear Kajal, i love your presentation....Bharwa Bhindi is one of my favourites but i have never made it...i must try this....i think the sweet is nariyal burfi

Stuffed Okra looks great Kajal.Little more work than usual but worth it if you see the final product:))
Coconut burfi?
Do you know a snack called Muthri or Mathri? I would like that recipe!:)

Hi Kajal,

Bhindi's look good, can we add onions to this while frying? the sweet looks like coconut burfi

Hello Kajalben,

How can I thank you for your wonderful blog!! I came across your blog a while back and have tried many of your recipes. Living in the U.S as a bachelor, I am always reminded of my home in Baroda when I make any of your recipes ...especially the "uni uni rotli." lol, yes i love to cook and eat! even though as a boy, mom never taught me how to make anything, your blog is a God-sent. My dad's side of the family is from Surat and I would greatly appreciate it if you could post a traditional Surti recipe, surti papdi nu shaak maybe?!

Keep up the great work! And I will keep on practicing to make my rotlis as round as yours :) :) :)

Best Wishes
Urvish

Urvish said...

Kajal said...

Hi Rajani,

Thanks for your sweet words.
Don’t wait take one piece of this sweet:-)

Kajal said...

Hi Sana,

Thanks for you lovely comment. Jhini sev is nice idea. I will use sev next time. I use sev in some of the other stuffed curry but not in Bhindi. Really appreciate your nice words.

Hellooooooooooo Asha,

Yes you are right this is time making dish so I not make it usually but some function is organized then I made this curry for change.

Asha your suggestion about Mathri is nice but I don’t know about this. Some time name is different in some part of Gujarat if you say the ingredients then I guess about this Mathri or Muthri. If I find it then I definitely post this recipe.

TC.:)

Kajal said...

Hey Aparna,

Yes, definitely you add onion after tempering my dear. This is also turns to be nice taste. Thanks for your nice suggestion. I will also try onion.

Hi Kajal,

I tried bharwan bhendi today... it turned out to be very delicious...It was a hit with my family...Thanks a lot for the recipe :)

Modi I made: I din't have cumin-cori pwd...so added kitchen king masala instead... also added a few tsp of curds towards the end to cut down on the oil...

Dev

Kajal said...
