If you haven’t tried Marwari-style Bhindi yet, you’re definitely missing out on one of the most flavorful ways to enjoy ladyfinger. It’s crispy, tangy, and packed with bold Rajasthani flavors. What makes it truly special? A spiced curd-based gravy and a crispy besan-coated bhindi that soaks up all the deliciousness!

Here’s how it goes:

First, we prepare the bhindi (ladyfinger). Wash and dry them well. Then marinate with:

• Salt
• Red chilli powder
• Turmeric
• Besan (gram flour)
• A splash of lemon juice

Let it sit for a few minutes, then shallow fry in mustard oil for 8–10 minutes till they turn slightly crispy and cooked through.

Now for the magical gravy —

In hot mustard oil, temper hing, mustard seeds, jeera, garlic, and green chillies. Once aromatic, toss in chopped onions and a pinch of salt. Cook till golden.

In a separate bowl, whisk curd with:

• Kashmiri red chilli
• Turmeric
• Dhania powder
• Cumin powder

Pour this into the onion mix and cook till the oil separates. Add water as needed, let it boil, and then drop in the fried bhindi.

Finish with sabji masala and a sprinkle of kasuri methi. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

And that’s it — your rich, creamy, tangy, and spicy Marwari Bhindi is ready!

FAQs about Marwari Bhindi Recipe:

Q1. Can I use curd straight from the fridge?

A: Preferably not. Use room temperature curd and whisk it well to avoid curdling in the gravy.

Q2. Why is lemon juice added to bhindi?

A: It adds tanginess and helps cut down the sliminess of bhindi during frying.

Q3. Can I skip besan while marinating?

A: Besan adds a nice crispy texture and helps spices coat the bhindi better. It’s highly recommended.

Q4. Is mustard oil necessary?

A: Mustard oil adds that signature Marwari flavor. If you don’t have it, you can use regular oil, but the taste won’t be the same.
