Bharli Bhendi is a widely popular Maharashtrian dish. Bharli Bhendi as called in Marathi language, means stuffed Lady Fingers/Okra. The basic ingredient for it’s stuffing in Maharashtrian cuisine, is generally grated fresh coconuts.
But the other ingredients used alongside may wary. Here I am presenting a recipe with totally different ingredients from the rest, of which one is Khus Khus (White Poppy Seeds).
Lady Fingers (Bhendi / Okra / Bhindi) are a very healthy vegetable as they are a powerhouse of nutrition, rich in vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that provide an array of health benefits from treating diabetes to preventing kidney disease.
Here along with coconut, a superfood itself and which doesn’t need much description for it’s widely known health benefits, we have used Khus Khus in this recipe. Khus Khus is the tiny kidney shaped bean, widely known for it’s cooling property. There are many health benefits associated with Khus Khus. From boosting the immune system to improving brain and heart health, the benefits of Khus Khus are many!
Again the use of tamarind in such traditional recipes has its own benefits. Tamarind relieves discomfort in the stomach and aids digestion. It’s preparations are known cure for fevers, rheumatism, inflammation and sore throats.
The use of all such healthy ingredients combined with the nutritious bhendi and the use of least spices makes this simple and delicious vegetable preparation a unique one and also absolutely high on the health quo!
Serve Bharli Bhendi along with Maharashtrian Chavali Chi Usal Recipe and Phulka for a weekday meal along with your family.
