Dahi Bhindi | Dahiwale Bhindi (No Onion, No Garlic)

I was reminded of this recipe for Dahi Bhindi (or Dahiwale Bhindi) when Preeti, a colleague, got it for lunch. This is the no onion, no garlic version in honour of the upcoming festive season.

I like Bhindi and it is made very often in my home. Since I like variety I keep looking for different ways to make it; like this Bhindi with Roasted Peanut Powder, I learnt from Preeti’s mom. I liked this Dahi Bhindi because it is mellow and the gravy makes it a great accompaniment for rotis.
