Chatpata Masala Bhindi Fry Recipe
Most people do not like to eat okra or bhindi because it is squishy. However if you pick the right bhindi recipe, you can have this vegetable in a crispy way. Masala bhindi fry is what you need if you think that okra is too pulpy for you. Masala bhindi fry is a dish that is very popular in North India. In this bhindi recipe, the okra is first fried crisply and then cooked with spices.
As the adjective 'chatpata' suggests, masala bhindi fry is a sweet-sour-spicy recipe. However, if you cannot take too much of spices, reduce the number of chillies in the masala bhindi fry. You can still add the dry mango powder and garam masala to make this okra recipe tangy. This Indian vegetarian recipe is usually used as a side dish. But there is no harm in serving it as an appetizer.
