A unique and interesting vegetable-based chutney recipe prepared with fried okra and spices.

Bhindi Chutney Recipe | Bendekayi chutney | Okra Chutney for idli & Dosa with step-by-step photo and video recipe. 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.

Furthermore, 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.
