Ingredients
Aloo – Peel the potatoes and cube them into small pieces or in wedges to make this Sabzi. The soft texture of Aloo tastes amazing when mixed with Bhindi.
Bhindi – Bhindi or Okra can be slit or you can cut them in round pieces for this sabzi.
Oil – You can use either Mustard Oil or Vegetable Oil to make this simple Aloo Bhindi Stir Fry. I will recommend you to add mustard oil, as it is healthier and also adds a nice flavor.
Spices – We will use some everyday spice powders such as – coriander powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, dry mango powder, garam masala powder, and salt.
Onion and Garlic – While Garlic adds a nice flavor, finely chopped/finely sliced onions add a nice crunch along with taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
To make a No Onion No Garlic Aloo Bhindi, just avoid adding these two ingredients. You can add in a little grated ginger in the beginning.
You can also add in some tomatoes at the end and cook them till they just become a little soft. Do not make them mushy.
The Potatoes and Bhindi are pan-fried separately in the beginning, so that the slimy texture of the Bhindi doesn’t stick to the Potatoes.
Also, both these vegetables have different cooking timing, so adding them together can make one of them undercooked or overcooked.
So, always pan fry them separately and then add in the masala to get the perfect texture.
After washing the Bhindi, pat dry it completely with a paper towel before chopping it. If there is any moisture left, it becomes slimy while cooking.
Storage Suggestions
This Sabzi will last in the fridge for about 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container. Reheat it properly in a pan or in a microwave, before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Aloo Bhindi with any Indian Bread such as Roti, Tawa Paratha, or even Laccha Paratha.
