We have mixed all of these well and kept aside. Further, for the tempering, we have heat oil in a broad non-stick pan and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds and fennel seeds followed by asafoetida and curry leaves. Once, all of these is cooked add the curd mixture and steamed bhindi, cook well and serve dahi bhindi with coriander garnished on top.

Hi.. we have tried this recipe.. It has turned out well. Please could you let us know what have gone wrong. As the recipe says.. to cook only for 3 minutes, once the curds have been added. I hope you have followed the same procedure.

I have tried this recipe and it''s tastes good. I don''t say the best bhindi recipe but yes it''s less time taking and tastes different from daily bhindi sabji. So thanks for giving me another choice to prepare bhindi.
