Bhinda nu shak is a delicious and healthy Gujarati dish made with okra (bhindi) flavored with peanuts and a blend of regular spices-based masala. This masala is easy to make and takes the sabzi to a whole new level. The dish has a slightly spicy, tangy, and savory flavor and can be served as a side dish or a main course with roti or rice. In this recipe, I will share a few tips that help retain the green color of bhindi and make it more flavorful. Do give it a try!
The key to making tasty bhinda nu shak at home is as follows:
