Stuffed Bhindi Sambhariya
by Tarla Dalal
For a taste of authentic Gujarati cuisine, have a go at the Stuffed Bhindi Sambhariya. Ladies finger, cooked with a stuffing of roasted besan and spice powders, the Stuffed Bhindi Sambhariya has a very different taste, which leaves a lingering warmth on your palate.
Its spicy, tangy and sweet flavour goes very well with rotis. You can also enjoy it with rice and dal. Nevertheless, it is made only with common ingredients and is quite easy to make.
Just make sure that you remember to stir the stuffed bhindi once in a while, at least four or five times so that the besan does not burn.
You can also try your hand at other recipes like the Bhindi Kali Mirch and Bhindi Do Pyaza .
