Okra ki Sabzi | How to make Bhindi Sabzi

This Okra ki Sabzi or Bhindi Sabzi is an easy and simple side dish you can serve with rice or roti. You can make this dish in under 20 minutes as this is a simple side dish.

I happen to make this bhindi bhaji recipe on one fine Sunday when we were making biryani for the kids. I was wondering what to make for the vegetarians and decided I might as well make use of the opportunity and make an Okra ki Sabzi so that I can meet the A to Z Side Dishes for O.

Deciding on O is tough and fixing on Okra made life easy for me. The first time I made it, it was having a little more liquid than what was pictured today. Both the times I had served it with rice. However, this surely makes a great dish with roti as well.

We mostly don't make such almost dry dishes for rice. However, this dish surely made a difference. Similar to this dish, you can make these simple side dishes for different combinations like this Dali Thoy, Bombay Chutney, Lobia Masala Curry, Jalfrezi Paneer, or this Kadala Curry.

There are so many easy side dishes you can have your pick from!
