Regal Kaju Bhindi Subji

Stand out from the crowd by making this distinctive Kaju Bhindi subji. Make it using frozen bhindi when fresh ones are difficult to locate.

Whenever I serve this subji to my guests, they fall in love with the kaju bhindi (cashew-okra) combo right away. Cashews add the royal touch to bhindi, while spices add the depth of flavour.

Make this noteworthy recipe and amaze your loved ones and watch their faces light up.

NOTES

  • Check my post for other options and details.

  • Cook bhindi on low to medium heat to help preserve the deep green colour of the bhindi and ensure that it cooks properly without turning mushy.

  • Salt will cause the bhindi to release more liquid, making it more sticky and resulting in a gooey subji. So add salt at the very end.

  • cooking time will increase if you decide to make larger quantity. 

  • Refer to the post for all the making photos and additional recipe tips.
