Aloo Bhindi Bhaja – Potatoes And Okra Fry

This aloo bhindi recipe is a lightly spiced delicious dry curry made with okra, potatoes, and spices in an onion. Also, a vegan recipe, it is made in Bengali Style and goes very well with roti or paratha.

Furthermore, some easy and important tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect and tasty aloo bhindi recipe. Firstly, the potatoes may take longer time to cook, compared to bhindi. Hence I would recommend to make it thin or small cubes so that it does not take long time cook. Secondly, you need to take extra care while chopping and handling bhindi (okra). Do not bring it to the contact of moisture/water while chopping or cooking. it would release its latex when it is brought in contact with water.
