Simple Bhendi Fry
Bhendi/Bhindi/Okra/Lady's Fingers/Bendakaya is a world wide versatile vegetable. Besides being low in calories it comes plenty with vitaminA, B6 and C along with folic acid, riboflavin, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, copper, zinc and dietary fiber. It helps reabsorb water and traps excess cholesterol, metabolic toxins and surplus bile in its mucilage and slips it out through the stool. Due to greater percentage of water in the bulk it thereby prevents constipation, gas and bloating in the abdomen. You can read more about nutritious okra by clicking here. Bhendi is one my favourite vegetable. Soft, velvet-textured green skin with tiny white colored pods neatly arranged in rows makes a tempting appereance. This is one of the very simple bhendi fry which I like to make often. Hot bowl of rice with khatti dal are much liked side entremets with this bhendi fry.
