Bhinda ni Kadhi
You will find many gujrati dishes on this blog, and if there is no mention of bhinda ni kadhi then something is missing.
I started cooking ever since I was in school. I started by making chapatis first and then gradually moved over to other stuff. Boring as it was then, I would always try to get out of the kitchen but pulled back in by her.
It began with making chapatis and then standing next to her just stirring the spoon in whatever she was making. Theory lessons would go on in the background as a running commentary which whould be everyhting from what different types of dals are used for, to what goes in first while tempering and why.
Gujju food is famous for its long endless preparations and hence that was the next lesson. Standing next to her in the kitchen and helping to make masalas, chop the vegetables, stuff them if required and the likes.
I would enjoy stuffing! Now that I think back, I don’t really understand what’s so fascinating about that mundane task, but I used to enjoy it then and I even do it now. 
For Bhinda ni Kadhi:
serves 2
10-12 small to medium sized lady’s finger, washed, dried, remove the corners and slit it along its length
1 cup stuffing masala - same as that for Sambharyu Shaak.
1 cup yogurt
2 tsp besan
2-3 tbsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp hind / asafoetida
salt to taste
1 tsp sugar
Fill the stuffing masala in the lady’s finger and keep it aside.
In a kadai, heat 2-3 tbsp oil, add mustard seeds, once they start to pop add cumin. Let it brown and then add hing.
Throw in the stuffed lady’s fingers, stir, cover and let it cook till they are half cooked.
In the mean time, mix besan with yogurt and add salt to taste. Add this to the kadai once the lady’s fingers are half cooked. Mix it well.
Give it a good boil. Some of the masala will spill out into the kadhi. Add one tsp sugar and garnish with chopped coriander.
Enjoy with khichdi or just plain rice.

WooHoo! That looks and sounds wonderful. I made Paneer di Kadhi from Musical, now it’s your turn. I will try next week if I can get fresh Bhindi. Enjo the weekend. Hugs!
Yummy.. That looks delicious Coffee. I love all kadhi recipes, but my husband is not big on yogurt. Would love to try this soon. Enjoy the weekend.
You love stuffing?
I have had it just once in my lifetime during my trip to gujarat and vouched never to touch it again…your pic is tempting me to re-think
I just have had one kind of kadhi the one with the pakodis, this looks delicious. But I am not sure I would enjoy stuffing (the bhindi I mean, when it comes to myself I am all for it)
Looks superb…
Very yummy! Gotta’ find some bhindis now
looks yummy n a perfect accompaniment with rice n chapathis..
You stuff the bhindis and then put those into the kadhi? That’s news to me!
mouthwatering, never heard of stuffed bhindi in kadhi. this is a must try
one of my favorites!
yeah….for me too its a first to see stuffed bhindi in kadhi….mouthwateringly interesting….
Cooking since you were in school! I never lifted a finger to help my mom in the kitchen at that age! or ever.
That sounds interesting…I know how I’m going to cook my bhindis next time
Why don’t u live somewhere close by?
That kadhi looks sooo scrumptious ! It has tempted me to use the XXXL bhindis that we get here in Singapore which I normally avoid. Thanks for the lovely recipe
wow, this looks fab
Stuffed okra? that s a great idea. I only made stuffed mirchi… but that would be a bit too hot 
great recipe, you re so innovative. Would you like to be cooked from, btw?
Waahhh…!!! tame pakka gujju chho Coffee…
next time India jata pahela mare 2 divas Singapore holt levo padshe…;)
BTW, Kadhi no photo saras che…! I always love ur all d recipes.
bye,tc.
With warm hugs,
Sonu:)
I am not kidding. This blog feeds my soul.
Coffee, that was my everyday routine too! make the dough and rotis everyday and then i would go away, only to keep getting pulled back in to help chop veggies, stir the daal, etc. So much
fun really, when you look back on it. Anywho, this is one of my favorite dishes. so simple and earthy.
That looks mighty tasty and easy, too! Sounds wonderful!
Bhindi anything is welcome!
Hi Coffee…. Kadhi looks YUM!…. Nice recipe to try this weekend…. It is so mouthwatering…. Love it…
stuffed bhingi in kadhi… amazing… beautifulll… blah blah blah… u rock buddy…
i have got a small gift awaiting you in my blog… do drop by… a humble offering…
Have heard about it but never tried it. The stuffing in the bhindi should give a wonderful taste to the kadhi.
I am falling in love with middle eastern foods and spices these days. Just love the smells and flavors. That dish looks amazing!! Very nice!
