This is an all time favourite dish of my family and friends. I greatly cherish the amazing comments of people after relishing this dish and calling me for asking the recipe or coming back with a request to serve it again. It is a stuffed dry Indian vegetable.

Preparation Time10 minutes
Cooking Time15 minutes


  • 250 grams bhindi/ladyfinger
  • 3 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1tsp turmeric powder
  • 1tsp red chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp dry mango powder or amchur
  • 1tsp garam masala powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped green coriander leaves for garnishing

  1. Wash and drain the ladyfinger. Wipe them with a cloth or kitchen roll to remove water.
  2. Chop away the head(broader side) and the tiny tail of it.
  3. Next slit them all starting from the broader end towards the tail making sure that it should not separate into two parts. Stop slitting it 1/2 cm away from the tail.
  4. Mix all the spices along with the salt in a bowl. Now using a tsp start stuffing the spice mix into each ladyfinger lengthwise.
  5. Use a plate underneath so that the dropped spice mix can be used to stuff the other ladyfingers or for putting it in the pan while cooking.
  6. Heat oil in a broad pan. Add the stuffed ladyfinger in the pan on high flame. Sprinkle some salt on top. Toss them well for 2 min.
  7. Cover for 5 min. on low flame. Now remove the lid and toss them on medium heat for about 5 to 7 min.
  8. Check for seasoning. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
  9. Serve hot with tava roti or parantha or puri.

  • Avoid cooking the stuffed bhindi by covering them for too long so that they look green and do not become flimsy.
