    Besan Wali Bhindi is a stuffed Lady's Finger with Besan and spices prepared a little spicy to pair with Dal and Rice. This stuffed Bhindi makes a delicious side dish with Roti or Rice.

    I made this Besan Wali Bhindi for my Rajasthani thali a little spicier than expected as I was pairing it with the Dal and wanted some spicy dry side dish. Making this hardly takes time and you just have to cook it on low flame and keep stirring it occasionally. I made this dal along with Rajasthani Masala Tikadia, Paneer Gatta Sabzi.

    The stuffing is with regular pantry ingredients, the usual Indian spice powders. If you want it very crispy you can add a bit more oil than mentioned here.

    This week I shall be sharing some regional special dishes from India. I have chosen three different states and this is from Rajasthan.

      Mom used to make stuffed okra with idli molaga podi. This stuffing sounds so good. Any dish with amchur, I am ready to gobble. These okras must be absolutely delicious..

      Love this stuffing Valli. Besan is the best filling in a subzi. I stuffed it inside karela and it was heavenly. Cant wait to try this bhindi version. 🙂 Okra looks yum 🙂

      Seriously as I was scrolling down my mouth was watering. My family is a lover of stuffed bhindi and they like the one with besan. The spices vary a bit.
