- 1 tbsp Coriander Powder
- 1/2 tbsp Chili Powder red
- 1.5 tsp Salt adjust to taste
- 2 tbsp Mustard Oil

- 2 tbsp Mustard Oil
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 cup Yogurt

Instructions
Prepare the Okra

Prepare the Stuffing
- In a bowl, combine coriander powder, red chili powder, salt, mustard oil, and Goda Masala. Mix well.
Stuff the Okra
- Fill the slit in each okra with the spice mixture. For best results, marinate the stuffed okra overnight in the refrigerator.
Make the Gravy
- In a pan or wok, heat mustard oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Cook the Okra
- In the same pan, whisk together plain yogurt, dahi masala (or raita masala/pickle masala). Add the stuffed okra and stir gently.
Simmer
- Cover the pan and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and the flavors have melded.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Achari Bhindi
- For extra flavor, use homemade Goda Masala. The quality of your spice blend directly impacts the final taste.
- Marinating the stuffed okra overnight allows the flavors to fully penetrate, resulting in a more intense and delicious dish.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level. Start with less and add more gradually.
- Don't overcook the okra; it should be tender-crisp, not mushy. Keep a close eye on it while simmering.
