Chutney recipes are perhaps one the underrated recipes, yet an integral part of Indian cuisine. Generally, it is prepared with basic ingredients like coconut, chillies, herbs etc, but it can also be prepared with vegetables too. One such hugely popular Karnataka or Telugu cuisine-based chutney recipe is bhindi chutney or Bendakaya pachadi Recipe. I presume that when you hear about okra, the first thing that comes to your mind is the sticky latex it produces. So you must be wondering, how can a chutney be prepared from okra. Well, let me tell you this fact. The okra releases its sticky juice when it meets moisture. So in other words, when you wash and do not dry them properly or use a wet knife, it would certainly release its juice. However, when you fry these in oil or perhaps use tamarind juice to cook the okra, it would not release any of its juice. And that’s the principle I have used in this chutney. So, I fried these okras in oil and then mixed them with basic South Indian chutney spices and lentils. This is eventually, ground to a smooth paste to make it a simple chutney. Do try this chutney and let me know if you liked it. Bendekayi chutneyFurthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the bhindi chutney recipe. Firstly, the okra or bhindi has to be fresh, tender and more importantly juicy. This would make the chutney more flavoured and tasty. You may test the freshness of the okra while buying it, by just snapping the tip of it. Secondly, due to the nature of the chutney, it takes a lot of oil in preparing this chutney. Hence be generous while preparing this chutney and it also helps to improve the shelf life. Lastly, if you wish to improve the consistency and also increase the chutney quantity, you may add coconut grate while grounding it. However, this would lower the shelf life and also the spiciness and hence you may need to increase the chillies. easy Bhindi Chutney Recipe | Bendekayi chutney | Okra Chutney for idli & Dosa Prep Time10 mins Cook Time15 mins Total Time25 mins Course: chutney Cuisine: south indian Keyword: Bhindi Chutney Recipe Servings: 4 Servings Calories: 187kcal Ingredients for masala powder: 2 tsp oil ½ tbsp urad dal ½ tbsp chana dal 1 tsp coriander seeds ½ tsp cumin ¼ tsp methi 5 dried red chilli for frying bhindi: 2 tbsp oil 5 clove garlic crushed 2 cup bhindi / okra chopped 1 tomato chopped small piece tamarind ¼ tsp turmeric ½ tsp salt for tempering: 2 tbsp oil 1 tsp mustard ½ tsp urad dal 2 dried red chilli broken few curry leaves pinch hing Instructions firstly, in a pan heat 2 tsp oil. add ½ tbsp urad dal, ½ tbsp chana dal, 1 tsp coriander seeds, ½ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp methi and 5 dried red chilli. roast on low flame until the spices turn aromatic. cool completely, and grind to a fine powder. keep aside. in the same pan heat 2 tbsp oil and saute 5 clove garlic until it turns golden brown. add 2 cup bhindi and fry well. stir and fry until the bhindi turns non-sticky and crunchy. now add 1 tomato, a small piece of tamarind, ¼ tsp turmeric and cook well. cook until the tomato turns soft and mushy. cool completely, and transfer to the mixer jar. also, add ½ tsp salt and grind to a coarse paste. keep aside. in a pan heat 2 tbsp oil. add 1 tsp mustard, ½ tsp urad dal, 2 dried red chilli, a few curry leaves and pinch hing. splutter the tempering. add in prepared chutney and mix well. cook until the oil separates from the sides. finally, enjoy bhindi chutney with hot steamed rice, dosa or idli.
