Kadai bhindi recipe – A perfect side dish for phulkas, rotis, naans, and rice. Kadai bhindi recipe with detailed step-by-step pictures.
Ladies finger | Okra | vendakkai is a versatile vegetable, used in South Indian and North Indian cooking too. We make poriyal, thoran to pair with south Indian meal, also we add this in south Indian gravies too.
Kadai bhindi is the one I learnt from Vah chef’s video many years back. I love his videos and they always gives us confidence to cook recipes with ease. This recipe is my family’s favorite and guests also loved it.
In this recipe I have deep fried the bhindi as per the original recipe, but I have tried sauting it in the pan method too. Both turned out pretty well and kids loved it too.
Usually in Kadai style masala, crushed coriander seeds is added. We don’t like it getting it into our mouth while biting, so I added coriander powder for this kadai bhindi.
You can pair this with roti, naan, jeera rice and pulao too.
