Aloo Bhindi Recipe: It is simple everyday sabzi which goes very well with dal, roti and rice. This simple home style aloo bhindi masala/ alo bhindi ki sabji is quick and easy to do and loved by everyone. Bhindi/okra is a very common vegetable which is widely available all over the world. I also often make at it at home in many ways. In my blog you can see the recipe of Bhindi do pyaza, bharwa Bhindi/okra, Bhindi ka salan and now this aloo Bhindi. Aloo Bhindi recipe is very easy to do. Here I have not deep fried the okras, just chopped them and cooked them directly with potatoes and spices. To give extra taste I have also added some gram flour at the end that soaks extra water out gives us perfect aloo bhindi fry. Also I have added green chilly, red chilly and garam masala as I like this aloo bhindi ki sabzi little spicy. If you do not want it too spicy then you can skip the chillies.

Notes
- Choose the right Bhindi/okra. Look for bright color and smaller size okra.
- It is very important to dry them thoroughly with paper towel after washing and before chopping.
