Tawa Bhindi recipe is a tasty twist to a typical Bhindi Fry recipe or Stuffed Bhindi recipe. This Vegetarian Okra Recipe is a Pan fried with Garlic, Chickpea Flour (Besan) and some Indian Spices. Tawa Bhindi is perfectly cooked with no slimy texture of Okra and it gets ready under 15 minutes. It is a simple Vegan Okra side dish and It can be served with Paratha, Roti, Rice or Naan.

Tawa BhindiLady’s Finger / Okra / Bhindi is a great source of nutrients, It even aids in weight loss, controls blood sugar levels as well as improves digestion.

Okra / Ladies Finger is a staple and is cooked in many ways in Indian cuisines, like Bhindi fry, Bhindi Masala, Ajwaini bhindi, Dahi Bhindi , Bhindi Ki kadhi, Stuffed Bhindi, No Onion No Garlic Bhindi Masala, Maharashtrian Style Bhindi, Aloo Bhindi, Bhindi Do pyaza Etc. In Indian restaurants, Bhindi Masala is one of the popular items on the menu.

Tawa Bhindi

This Tawa Bhindi is a twist to a basic Bhindi Masala Recipe and the ingredients are same as Bharva bhindi. Only thing I changed is Instead of stuffing the Bhindi, I sprinkled the masala on top and cook it for few minutes. Hence it is less time consuming over the traditional way of cooking Stuffed Bhindi / Okra. This particular Vegetarian Bhindi recipe has a dry texture and requires shallow frying followed by mixing Chickpea flour based masala.

Many of us have issues while cooking Bhindi because of the slimy texture it gives off on cooking.

So How to avoid Slimy Bhindi texture?

1 – The key is to choose tender green okra and when you snap the end, it should break off easily.

2 – Don’t stir continuously when sautéing or cooking. Stir very occasionally or just toss them.

3 – Adding tsp of lemon juice also helps reduce slime.

4 – Make Sure that you wash Okra / Bhindi properly and pat dry with zero moisture before chopping them.
