Bhindi is (arguably) one of the most beloved vegetables in the Indian kitchen. I was looking around for some good recipes for it, other than the usual bharwan bhindi, bhindi pyazwali and bhindi sambhar. I came across an interesting recipe for Bhindi Raita on fastindianrecipes. Hope you enjoy it.
Bhindi Raita
Bhindi raita or okra raita is a South Indian style raitha where it is also called ‘Vendaikai Thayir Pachadi’. Small sized bhindi is good for this raita. For those of you who have never tried bhindi raita, all I can say is do try it, it’s very delicious. You can also call it okra salad in yogurt.
