Last time I shared my recipe of Bhindi Masala and Kadhai Bhindi, amazingly so many variations can be made with Bhindi (or any other vegetable). I tried many other variants of it but unfortunately, I couldn’t take photographs.
Today, I prepared Bharva Bhindi for the family, it was an instant hit, and my husband asked me to make this more often as Bhindi is his favorite. Try this easy step by step recipe to prepare this for your family. I hope they will like it.
