Bharwan Bhindi (Stuffed Okra)

Bharwan Bhindi

Bharwan Bhindi

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 stuffed 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 sabji, she used to make Bhindi sabji 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 definitely like it. I can even bet, those who hate Bhindi, they can also fall in love with these versions of sabji.

Achari Dahi Bhindi ‘Achari’ means pickling whi Achari Dahi Bhindi
‘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.
