Besan Wali Bhindi (Stuffed Okra with gram flour) is a spicy and tangy side dish made in Rajasthani style. Made from lady fingers, gram flour and combination of spices this Bharma Bhindi is an aromatic dry Sabzi which is easy to make but tastes great. You can pair this dish with roti, paratha and rice. I like it most with puri and Aloo Tamatar ki sabji.
I strongly recommend sautéing of besan and spices as it helps to relies the aroma and the rawness of the besan (gram flour) is gone.
