Okra (Bhindi)

Lady's fingers, picked at the right age.

High in soluble fibre, vitamin K, and folate — a quiet powerhouse for gut and heart health.

The great bhindi debate — slimy or crispy — is really a debate about freshness. Ours are picked young, when they still snap cleanly between your fingers, which is the universal sign of a good bhindi. No slime. All crunch. All flavour. Turn them into crispy kurkuri bhindi, a masaledaar sabzi, or the criminally underrated South Indian vendakkai poriyal.
