Bhindi masala is a simple and delicious okra curry with onions and tomatoes.
I always prefer the dry curry version of bhindi and end up making bhindi sabzi which I could have any day.
Just for a change I decided to try this version of bhindi with tomatoes and it turned out delicious. Every bite of the bhindi is flavoured with the tomatoes and masala.
This simple recipe is a good side dish for phulkas or rotis. Lets move on to the recipe for bhindi masala.
