    When you cut an okra first cut the head and then cut the bottom part of the okra off. Next just cut the middle parts into little pieces like ½ inch long.

    TIPS FOR MAKING ACHARI BHINDI

    • FRESH OKRA- I always use fresh okra. However, if you're in a hurry you can use frozen too.
    • Seasoning - Make sure you don't miss any ingredient in Achari masala if you do the taste would be different.
    • Water - Be careful with the amount of water you don't want to add too little or too much.
