The combination of vegetables and spices is perfect, to lift the taste of subzi to an extent that one does not notice the reduced use of salt.
Use only the measured amount of salt and do not go overboard. A combination of sautéed bhindi, tomatoes, onions and curds with spices, this Dahi Bhindi tastes wonderful with phulkas or chapatis.
A low-salt, low-sodium menu can also include other dishes like the Mili Jhuli Subzi and the Mooli Moong Dal .

i could not believe my eyes that bhindi can be made so tasty and innovatively. dahi bhindi is very tasty...different from normal bhindi that we make. i make this subzi for everyone in the house not just for my father in law (has high bp). the paste uses poha instead of only coconut so healthy na!
