How to make Bhindi masala Bhindi masala is a very delicious stir fry okra made with some basic spices along with tangy tomato. It is very simple to make and very flavourful when served with roti or phulka. In my family bhindi masala is served along tadka arhar daal and chapatis.
Garam masala is a spice blend that is a staple in Indian cooking. The name literally translates to âhot spiceâ in Hindi, but it is actually not hot at all. It is a warm, fragrant, and complex blend made primarily from cardamom, fennel, cumin, cassia (a relative of cinnamon), cloves, nutmeg, coriander, and peppercorns. Garam masala is earthy, sweet, and slightly spicy. The âhotâ refers to the fact that the spices in garam masala are believed to elevate oneâs body temperature, according to Ayurvedic medicine. It is also believed to aid in promoting weight loss, relieving bloating and heartburn, lowering blood sugar, and more.
