Bhendi is one vegetable, which I do not eat, as I do not like the slimy feel after it is cooked but it is a favorite vegetable in my family.

Little jaggery to balance taste



METHOD

I guess this is what is similar to 'bhende sangle' but only difference is we dont use the garam masala and use fried urad daal/coriander seeds. I will try your version it looks yummy. I love anything made of bhindi :). Thanks for sharing.

I remember this curry I used to wonder why bhendi instead of sungta? LOL ya i dont like it and remember it as a part of shivrak on mondays wonder why when the curry reminds you of sungta swimming in it :)
