What is bhindi masala?

Bhindi masala is a North Indian dry curry of okra (bhindi) cooked in a spiced onion and tomato masala. Done well, the okra keeps a slight bite and picks up cumin, coriander and a touch of tang from the tomato. It is one of the dishes vegetarians order first at an Indian restaurant, and one of the hardest to cook well at home because okra punishes shortcuts.

How we cook it at Passage to India

We cook the okra hot and fast so it stays crisp instead of going slippery, then fold it through a masala of browned onion, tomato, ginger and garlic. Bhindi Masala is $15.99 on our vegetarian menu in Niagara Falls, cooked fresh to order.

What goes well with bhindi masala?

  • Fresh naan or laccha paratha, because a dry curry wants a flatbread.
  • Dal makhni ($16.99) for a rich, saucy partner on the table.
  • Steamed rice and raita to round out a vegetarian dinner for two.

Feeding a crowd?

Bhindi masala is also available as a vegetarian party tray for $25, alongside dal, channa masala, aloo gobi and more. Order bhindi masala online for pickup or delivery anywhere in Niagara Falls.
