Bhindi masala recipe or stuffed bhindi masala recipe with step by step photos.

Bhindi is one of the "green vegetable" that most of the people like. There are several ways to prepare bhindi like aloo bhindi or besan wali bhindi or just a simple bhujiya or bhinda masala or dahi bhindi.. The list is really long!

Bhindi Masala recipe can be prepared in two ways either with or without besan. In this recipe I have not used besan. If you would like to see that recipe too, then let me know in the comment section below. I will be happy to share that as well.

So, basically in this recipe we will dry roast some whole spices and grind them with some powdered spices. This spice mixture is then stuffed into the slit bhindis. Stuffed bhindi is cooked with ginger, onion and chillies! Sounds yummy!!! Right?
