aloo bhindi recipe | bhindi aloo ki sabji with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and simple north indian dry curry or sabzi recipe made with potatoes, okra’s and dry spices. this recipe is not a premium selection and is made on day to day basis for lunch and dinner. also it is served mainly with indian flat bread, but also tastes great when served as a side with dal rice combination.
there are several dry curry or sabji recipes i have posted till now. but this recipe of bhindi aloo recipe is very unique and also more tastier compared to other north indian dry variants. the main reason being the choice of vegetables used in this recipe. the combination of okra with potatoes is very unique. one being soft and the other being hard and solid. moreover, it is easier to cook okra as compared to potatoes and hence you would get a final product which is a combination of soft and crispy textured curry. i personally like dry curry as it is not just easy and simple to make, but also has other benefits. for instance, you can use the leftover dry curries for snacks like sandwich or kathi roll / frankie. in addition the other advantage is that you can also serve it with rice as a side and not just limited to roti/paratha.
furthermore, some easy and important tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect and tasty aloo bhindi recipe. firstly, as i explained earlier, 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 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. lastly, you can make the same recipe as a creamy gravy based curry. you can extend the same vegetable choice with onion and tomato based sauce to make it gravy curry.
