Achari Dahi Bhindi Recipe (Punjabi Sabji)

Achari Dahi Bhindi

Achari Dahi Bhindi

Achari Dahi Bhindi is a very famous Punjabi dish made with Indian spices. Achari Dahi Bhindi is simple and easy to make. Achari Dahi Bhindi is delicious. ‘Achari’ means pickling which is made using a mix of spices. So, we are using pickle masala in this recipe but very less which making this dish flavorful and unique.

There are of course regional variations of Achari dishes. And most popular vegetables are cauliflower, potatoes, okras, etc… yogurt and tomatoes are being added to Achari Sabji which give a double-tangy flavor to curry. It is also perked up with a wide assortment of seeds and spice powders, which give it a super peppy flavor and aroma too. It’s also very clever way to preserve cooked vegetables for longer periods in the so many northern states where temperature is too high in summer.

I use mustard oil when making this dish which gives it a gorgeous pungent flavor and hint of deep color, so I’d urge you to get some for this recipe; although you can swap it for regular cooking oil if you prefer a milder flavor. you can serve this dish with roti, paratha or dal-rice of your choice.

Achari Dahi Bhindi

Ingredients:

• 400 grms Bhindi/Okra
• 4 tbsp Mustard Oil

• Pinch of Asafoetida/Hing
• 2 tsp Ginger Paste or Grated
• ½ cup Finely Chopped Onion
• ½ cup Finely Chopped Tomatoes

Achari Dahi Bhindi

Tips:

• You can add 1-2 tsp pickle masala for more pickly taste of the curry.

• If bhindis are too sticky, then add 1-2 tsp lemon juice in it while cooking so it becomes non-sticky.

Green Chutney This coriander-based Green Chutney i Green Chutney
This coriander-based Green Chutney is very tasty and quick. It can be prepared in few minutes. Mint adds freshness to this Chutney and addition of lemon juice enhances the flavors of mint and coriander and prevent discoloration of the greens. This Chutney is probably the most favorite Indian accompaniment. It is great for sandwich spreads, perfect with Crispy samosas, Dhokla or chaat etc.

Vada Pav is a famous street food of Mumbai, life o Vada Pav is a famous street food of Mumbai, life of Mumbai. you can say Vada Pav is an affordable food/snack for anybody in Mumbai. As a Mumbaikar Vada Pav is my any time favorite snack.
Vada Pav, like Pav Bhaji, was invented in Mumbai. The creation of the dish is credited to Ashok Vaidya, a snack vendor who ran a street stall just outside Dadar station. Being a major commuter hub and an important station, it was seldom uncrowded. To be innovative and unique, Vaidya reportedly came up with this recipe in 70’s to kill the hunger of the ever-moving commuters who looked like they were in desperate need of a snack that they could eat on the go.
