Because of Ladies Fingers’ (bhindi) low-calorie content and great nutritional value, it is often included in recipes for dishes like sambar, which are prevalent in Kandy.
In most cases, when we buy bhindi, we have to choose a delicate kind since, otherwise, we end up feeling like we have to chew the fiber content. For this, we break the tip of the vegetable, and if it breaks, that indicates that it is tender.
If it does not break, however, you will observe that it swings but does not break, which indicates that it is not tender.
Because it often takes a very little amount of time to cook, we need to be careful that the Ladies Fingers’ (bhindi) is cooked all the way through, or else it might spatter while we are preparing it.
You may adjust the amounts of the spices in this recipe to suit your own taste preferences. You may choose to prepare the Ladies Finger Curry in a dry form in order to eat it with chapati; alternatively, you can choose to prepare it in a curry form in order to eat it with rice and other meals.
