I just loved the photo. I loathe Okra, but your picture is tempting me to prepare an Okra dish for the first time. I grew up in a family of Okra lovers, and fought my battle all alone. Well, this one looks promising..

Stuffed bhindi looks delicious Vineela! I have never tried adding the onions with this fry.
Ofcourse I always went for the simplest possible procedure so never even prepared the masala from scratch(being the laziest person I am :-)).
Thanks for sharing a new and yummiliciuos recipe!

Hey Vineela,
First time here, Love okra.. never tried stuffing. Picture looks very tempting. Do u think frozen okra is good for stuffing.

Vineela said...

Hi Madhu,
Thanks for visiting .
I used fresh one but for stir fry i just use frozen one by keeping outside for 1/2 hr.I feel ,If Okra is dry and tender ,then it will be good for stuffing .
