Creamy dahi bhindi is a simple, flavourful curry where crispy okra is tossed into a spiced yoghurt gravy. The gravy is smooth and creamy, with just the right touch of heat and tang. The trick is to sauté the bhindi first so it stays firm. The onion-tomato base gives it body, and yoghurt adds a nice cooling touch. This dish feels homely and filling and works great with hot roti or plain rice.

Description - Step 1

Frying The Bhindi

Wash the bhindi thoroughly and dry it with a kitchen towel. This helps avoid stickiness later. Heat some oil in a pan on medium flame. Add the bhindi and saute until it looks slightly golden and cooked through. Take it out and keep it aside.
