Bhindi Masala or Okra Curry


Last round of this season's small tender okra and probably the next to last round of decent tomatoes. Wanting to celebrate the fresh ingredients, I tried out Vegan Richa's very simple Bhindi Masala recipe and really enjoyed the delicate flavor. I served the okra with Basmati rice and a brown lentil dal. You can find the recipe here: http://www.veganricha.com/2016/05/bhindi-masala.html
