Instructions

1. Make sure the bhindi is washed and dried thoroughly. If it is wet, it will become mushy.
2. For the bhindi masala, the bhindis are cut quite big compared to the other bhindi sabzis.
3. The green chilli is de-seeded, so that it is not too spicy while biting the chilli in the masala.
4. Be mindful while adding the red chilli powder, as the green chillies are already added in the beginning.
