Bharwan Bhindi (Stuffed Okra)

Bharwan Bhindi Photographt

Bharwan Bhindi Photographt

Bharwan Bhindi or Stuffed Okra or in Bharela Bhinda in Gujarati, is a simple way of relishing the okra or lady’s finger with stuffed spices. This Bharwan Bhindi is very popular in Gujarat, it is a spicy and irresistible side dish. Bharwan means stuffed and Bhindi means Okra. In this dish Okras are slit and stuffed with spices, it makes a lovely side dish with roti or paratha of choice.

I love Bhindi in any form. In fact in my childhood, I hated almost all veggies mainly lauki, karela, cauliflower, etc.… and used to love only Bhindi and Potatoes…hehe! It was like very limited options for me in veggies. So whenever my granny had to make Bhindi or Potatoes subji, she used to make Bhindi subji with different-different versions and Bharwan Bhindi is one of them. This stuffed Gujarati style Bharwan Bhindi is perfect side dish with hot dal-rice or garma-garam chapati, just comfortable food or you can say perfect soul food.
If you are also big fan of Bhindi and looking for more options for Bhindi recipes then try Bhindi Do Pyaza (click here for recipe) too, you will defiantly like it. I can even bet, those who hate Bhindi, they can also fall in love with these versions of subji.

Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smo Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smoothies made with my favorite fruit combinations. I made smoothies with SunGold Kiwi-Mango, SunGold Kiwi-Strawberry, and SunGold Kiwi-Mixed Berry for myself and the kids. In our summer smoothie, we love the high vitamin C content of sweet & refreshing SunGold kiwi. These smoothies are simple to make and quite tasty. If you've noticed, one of my favorite fruits in smoothies is kiwi. I discovered these SunGold @zesprikiwifruit @shopritestores and purchased two boxes (they come in a 1 pound pack) along with my grocery shopping from our local ShopRite. I purchased everything I'll need to create smoothies.

Transport yourself to the tropics with tangy sweet Transport yourself to the tropics with tangy sweet Passion Fruit Kulfi, made with fresh passion fruit pulp, hint of cardamom and saffron. Perfect way to enjoy tropical fruit in summer. If you are fan of mango, pineapple, lemon kind of tropical fruits, then you will love this passion fruit flavor in this Indian style kulfi dessert. My kids are crazy for this Kulfi. Sweet tangy flavor of passion fruit works well in fruit desserts, drinks and even some savory dishes. Earlier, I made Passion Fruit Panna Cotta and Pineapple Passion Fruit Mojito, but kulfi will always in top of the list.
