Bhindi Masala – Vegan at Dakshin Indian Bistro
What is Bhindi Masala – Vegan?
Bhindi Masala – Vegan is a delicious and healthy Indian curry made with bhindi (okra) cooked in a medley of aromatic spices. This dish is naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it a great option for anyone looking for a nutritious and flavorful plant-based meal. The okra is sautéed to perfection, absorbing the spices while maintaining a slight crunch, which adds a delightful texture to the dish.
The masala (spiced gravy) is made with a mix of onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and a blend of traditional spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala. The result is a savory and slightly tangy curry that pairs perfectly with roti, naan, or rice. The combination of okra with the fragrant spices makes this dish both hearty and satisfying without being heavy.

Instructions
-
Prepare the Okra:
- Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it completely dry with a clean towel (this step prevents sliminess).
- Trim the ends and cut the okra into 1-inch pieces.
-
Sauté the Okra:
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the okra pieces and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is slightly golden and cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
-
Prepare the Masala:
- In the same pan, add 1 tbsp of oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped or pureed tomatoes and cook until they soften and the oil starts to separate, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the Spices:
- Mix in turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to combine the spices with the onion-tomato base.
-
Combine the Okra:
- Add the sautéed okra to the masala mixture. Stir gently to coat the okra with the spices, being careful not to break the pieces.
- Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and mix well.
- Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to blend and the okra to absorb the masala.
