Bhindi Masala is a spicy dish made from okra, tomatoes, onions and other spices. This dish originated in the Indian subcontinent and is popular in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
The dish is typically cooked with a tomato-based sauce (in some places, tomato is optional) and seasoned with cumin seeds or ground cumin. The spices are generally fried for a few minutes before adding the okra to allow it to soak up the flavors of the spices. The dish can also be prepared by adding dry spices to boiling water before adding the okra.
Bhindi Masala can be served as an accompaniment to rice or eaten as a standalone side-dish along with roti or naan breads.
Bhindi Masala can be found in most Indian restaurants around the world.
