Besan wali bhindi is a dry okra curry with gram flour or besan as main ingredient. It is a no onion, garlic and tomato recipe so you don’t have to do much chopping.

Chopped okra is first sauteed with spice powders and finally we add gram flour and saute till it is well cooked and okra turns crispy.

In some recipes besan or gram flour is first sauteed well and finally added to the cooked okra. I do not prefer this method as it takes more time.

To make besan bhindi first of all rinse and pat dry the okra thoroughly. Cut them into big pieces as seen in the photo. Cutting into big pieces helps in reducing the okra slime.

Next heat a pan with 3 tablespoons oil. Temper with mustards, cumin seeds. Add the spice powders and saute well. Add chopped okra and mix well. Next you add the gram flour and mix well. Saute in low flame till gram flour is well cooked and okra turns crispy.

You can serve rajasthani besan bhindi with dal fry, phulka and also plain paratha.
