This Aloo Bhindi is a dry curry with Okra and Potatoes and some Indian spices. Bhindi or Okra is not really a favourite due to a few reasons. I have cooked with it quite a bit though simply because it’s so easy to get here and quite fresh. However, a dry curry with bhindi and aloo (okra potato dry curry) is a fabulous idea and here’s why:

Fact: Okra is slimy

Another fact: Potatoes are delicious
Fact 3: When delicious and slimy get together, it creates a pretty great dish.

If you want a bhindi recipe with more gravy, try the okra stew, or the dahi bhindi masala which is delicious with roti.

When I go to the nearby supermarket, I run out of vegetables to buy. There are about 5 rows of green leafy vegetables which I can’t bother with over weeknights, and there are the usual suspects like beans and carrot and broccoli and capsicum. I just have to reach for the okra packet on those nights. 

Cooking okra with aloo into a dry sabzi is a great idea especially for non-okra lovers. You can serve this aloo bhindi with rotis or rice.

1/4 tsp mustard seeds
A generous pinch of hing / asafoetida / perungaayam
1/2 tsp jeera / cumin seeds
