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

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

1-tbsp oil
Salt to taste

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.

Step 9: Cover the pan and turn off the flame after one minute. Place it in serving bowl.

  2. 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.

    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

    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.
