bhindi raita recipe, how to make bhindi raita | okra in spiced yogurt

bhindi raita or okra in spiced yogurt - a nice variation of raita different from the usual indian raita recipes.

in this raita recipe, the bhindi is first fried in oil and then added to yogurt with the spices. the fried bhindi adds a lot of texture and crunch in the otherwise smooth and creamy raita. so if you have few left over bhindis in the fridge then its an good raita to go along with your meals.

you can serve the bhindi raita as a side dish with an indian meal or with dal tadka -rice, jeera rice or veg pulao.
