Besan wali Bhindi Recipe
This combo takes a place in our menu at least once a week. But after trying this recipe, I am in total love with it. I loved the unique flavour of so many spices coming from this dish. This taste great when it is mixed with hot rice along with a spoon of ghee drizzled on top. Totally YUM. It is so quick to make too so perfect for any weekday too.

hi
very nice recipe.want to try this today.
can i use peanut powder instead of besan coz besan upsets tummy. and if i use peanuts then are there any changes in the ingredients.
regards
durga
Aarthi
@durga kalyanAdd peanut powder and some rice flour. Rice flour will hold the masala
SUSMERA VJ
Hi aarthi, I am a avid follower of you blog. Love your reciepes and I have tried many. I liked this one and I tried it today. as mentioned in the above comment, I used peanut powder. But the bhindis were not frying. It was too sticky and in the process of getting them eatable, all the bhindis broke. On the whole it was a disaster. Taste was good but it did not turn out as expected. I want to know how exactly it will cook as the paste is a bit sticky and bhindis were in a lump. Please reply. Where do you think I went wrong.
Aarthi
@SUSMERA VJu have to cook this on a low heat for manu minutes..it will cook slowly from inside and gets crispy on the outside
