Shahi Bhindi Recipe | Okra In Creamy Cashew Sauce

Shahi Bhindi Recipe | Okra In Creamy Cashew Sauce


This Shahi Bhindi recipe is from my sister and it's one of her hit recipe.  It's a perfect recipe for any get-together or party, fried okra in creamy cashew sauce does wonder and never fails to impress people, it's finger licking good trust me when I say that.  Pair it with any paratha or poori and your simple meal can be a grand affair.


If you are bored of your usual paneer butter masala, Chole, Navratan Korma, Mix Vegetable Kurma etc then try this simple, quick and delicious shahi bhindi and wow your family, friends & guests.  Since Holi is approaching I thought it's right time to post this recipe which you can try for your Holi parties, also after posting my homemade kitchen king masala recipe lot of people asked me to post recipes using kitchen king, so this shahi bhindi is one of those recipes.  But incase you don't have kitchen king with you and you are not making one too then replace it with garam masala.
