How to Make Masala Bhindi – Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bhindi

  • Wash the bhindi and pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel.

  • Trim the ends and cut into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2: Sauté the Bhindi

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan.

Step 3: Make the Masala Base

Step 4: Add Spices

  • Add turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook the masala for a minute.

Step 5: Mix and Cook

  • Add the sautéed bhindi back into the pan.

  • Mix gently so that bhindi gets coated with the masala.

  • Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes on low heat.

  • Finish with garam masala and amchur powder. Mix and cook uncovered for 1–2 more minutes.


Expert Tips for Perfect Masala Bhindi

  • Dry bhindi completely before chopping to avoid sliminess.

  • Use amchur or lemon juice for tanginess.


Serving Suggestions
