Stuffed Okra (Bharva Bhindi)

Vegetarian / Vegan / Serves - 4 / Cooking Time - 30 min


Bharva Bhindi is an authentic recepie from the grannies of India. A very tasty and easy way to eat Okra. People mostly complain about okra recepies getting sticky but our recepie will not get sticky as there is no added water in it (that makes it sticky). In my video i have shown how to cover the pan in a different way that is a way of keeping the natural moisture in food.
