Bhinda Ni Kadhi is a kadhi recipe from Gujrati cuisine. Kadhi is a yogurt and gram flour gravy that usually has vegetable fritters in it. In Bhinda Ni Kadhi, fried okra is used instead of fritters. The gravy is thick and has a sourness because of the yogurt.
Kadhi is actually a dish from Rajasthani cuisine. But the Bhinda Ni Kadhi is the Gujrati rendition of it. Bhinda means okra, so Bhinda Ni Kadhi literally translates to kadhi of okra.
To make Bhinda Ni Kadhi, fry okra in a pan and set it aside. Then, mix yogurt and gram flour in a bowl. Add salt, turmeric, and red chili powder to and mix. After that, heat oil in a pan and add ginger, chilies, asafoetida, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds. Add the gram flour batter to it and cook while stirring. Then, add the fried okra to it. Garnish it with cilantro.
