Raswali Bhindi sabji / Bhindi curry / Bhindi ki raswali sabji / How to make curried Okra/ UP style Raswali Bhindi ki sabzi

Hi friends, Here I am with another delicious recipe of Bhindi or Okra called Raswali Bhindi Sabzi. Actually I got bored of having fried bhindi and dahiwali khatti bhindi .So  I thought to try something new. Actually this Curried Okra is not new to me , I had this curry lots of time before marriage . This is my mom's recipe and she cook very often this curry at home. But I didn't cook this Okra curry before this. Here Mr. hubby and my FIL never tasted this Okra curry before.

So this friday I cooked Curried Okra and everyone liked that. Even Mr. Hubby said "Awesome". He liked this sabzi a lot.

Mostly pepole cook either fried okra or bhindi kadhi and nerver cook okra curry because of its stickiness. But try this recipe , you will never get stickiness in your okra curry and It would become another good option with bhindi.

This recipe is very simple and easy . You need very ordinary spices to cook this Raswali bhindi sabzi. For me this sabzi is perfect for dinner and goes well with rice , roti or paratha. Personally , I love to have this with parathas.

So Let us start this recipe:
