Bhindi (भिंडी, also known as ladyfinger or okra, is a slender green vegetable widely used in Indian cuisine. It has a tender texture and mild, slightly grassy flavor that pairs well with a variety of spices. Bhindi is a staple in home-cooked meals and is commonly prepared in dry sabzis, stuffed with spiced fillings, or cooked in tangy curries. Its ability to absorb flavors and develop a soft yet firm bite when cooked makes it especially popular in vegetarian dishes. Bhindi is easy to prepare and quick to cook, making it suitable for busy weekday meals. Whether paired with roti or rice, bhindi adds variety, texture, and traditional flavor to everyday Indian cooking across regions and households.
