I have already shared that my recipes got featured in Aval vikatan a popular Tamil magazine. I also promised that i will post some of the classic recipes from that book here with step wise pictures. Today i am sharing the recipe of Bhindi badam masala , a classic rich gravy, a perfect side dish for roti |naan. this bhindi masala never fails to impress your family and guests too. I got this idea from a cookbook of Tarla dalal which i happened to see in a book store in Chennai..The original recipe was with cashew nuts and was slightly different too. Bhindi was not added in the recipe. I tweaked the recipe according to my convenience and it turned out amazingly well. When i made the recipe for the magazine, i couldn't take step wise pictures. Also i used tomato puree and so the colour you in the final picture is slightly brownish than in the step wise picture.Stay tuned for more side dish for roti recipes.
