    Creamy Dahi Bhindi Curry

    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.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Melt Chocolate

Gently melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Stir continuously to avoid burning and ensure smooth, glossy chocolate. This creates the fudgy base for the brownies.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Mix Sugars

Add both white and brown sugar to the melted chocolate. Stir until fully dissolved and smooth. Brown sugar adds a slight caramel note, while white sugar balances sweetness.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Incorporate Curd & Vanilla

Lower the heat and add curd and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine. Curd adds moisture and helps the brownies stay soft without becoming cakey.

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

Sift together maida, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the chocolate mixture. Mix gently and quickly to avoid overworking the batter.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Fold in Nuts & Chocolate

Add roasted chopped cashews, chocolate chunks, and chocolate chips. Fold evenly into the batter to ensure every bite has a mix of nutty crunch and gooey chocolate pockets.

Description - Step 6

Step 6: Prepare Pan

Line a brownie tin with parchment paper or grease lightly with butter. Pour the batter into the tin and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Description - Step 7

Step 7: Add Kaju Katli Topping

Place Kaju Katli pieces generously on top of the batter. Gently press the kaju katli pieces into the batter. This ensures they stick while being visible on top, adding traditional flair and a sweet, nutty flavour.

Description - Step 8

Step 8: Bake

Preheat oven to 170°C (338°F). Bake the brownies for 25 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the centre; it should come out with a few moist crumbs for fudgy consistency.

Description - Step 9

Step 9: Cool & Cut

Let the brownies cool completely in the tin. Carefully lift using parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles. The fudgy interior and Kaju Katli topping should be visible.
