Aloo Bhindi Sabzi is one of those simplest side dishes you can make for your working lunch. It's quick to make and goes so well with rotis. While I have tasted this many times, I never got around making it until I planned this Punjabi Thali sometime back. Since then I have made just this with rotis for my office lunch and it is very easy to make in the mad rush that mornings are.
I love lady's finger in any form and to remember that while growing up I used to avoid this vegetable just to spite Amma. My brother is a great fan of this vegetable and Amma used to make it very often during the week. I simply used to deny saying I don't like, just because my brother liked it. I know it was mean and repent that thought now when my kids do that often. Amma always used to make something that I liked when she makes bhindi. I got over my need to pick a fight with my brother after a while. When I started cooking, this ended up being the most frequently cooked vegetable.
Why am I talking about my lunches? Well, we are starting the second week of BM#77, featuring healthy weekday lunch. I wanted to share some working lunch. It can feature anything that is simple to carry or enjoy at home. It can be an elaborate thali as well if you happen to be at home. The choice is wide. I am sticking to showcase my weekday lunch. I was planning to click new pictures, but couldn't manage. So you will have to enjoy the ones I did for the thali.

Bhindi is a fav veggie at home and the kids love it ! I hated karela (and still do!) and not to spite anyone but myself :)) my sis loves them though .. ur post reminded me of the childhood memories I had about bittergourd with my sis !

I used to hate bindhi when I was a kid, but my daughter is just opposite. She loves it and this combination is one of her most fav.

I was not a fan of okra while growing up but it is our family favorite now, especially my daughter's. And obviously, i love okra in all forms now. 🙂
One of my SILs makes this okra curry with potatoes regularly and I love it.

delicious sabji. I prepare this often for my daughter's lunch box. Bhindi somehow tastes good even when it is cold.
