Sweet and Sour Okra Recipe:
A traditional Maharashtrian Okra (Bhindi) Curry made with tamrind.
This is a Maharashtrian dish prepared on occasions or unless the incumbents of the household believe in eating only authentic Maharashtrian food. This is eaten in the interiors of Maharashtra and is not so popular in the coastal areas where they prefer general Tawa fry Bhindi with little spices. Will put that dish some other day. But for today let’s see how to make the sweet n sour Bhindi my style.:)
