Dahi Bhindi is a delicious preparation of okra or ladies finger in a yoghurt based gravy.

In this recipe, the okra is sauteed in oil separately before adding it the gravy thus removing its sliminess. As the name suggest, this recipe uses only whisked yoghurt and no tomatoes are used. It goes well with roti, naan or rice.

Usually I used to prepare only Stir Fry Okra with Onions and this mouth watering combination of yoghurt with okra was my first try. I must say it was nothing less than any non vegetarian gravy :)
