Aloo Bhindi fry is an easy dry subzi recipe to go well with rice or roti as side dish. A quick and easy method.
I wanted to try this sabji (vegetable side dish) for a long time. I checked with my friend Sangeeta quickly for the recipe, it was super easy and tasty too.
My family loved it a lot, that Aj wanted to eat it for dinner as well after eating it for lunch.
When we went to Pune, where ever we had lunch we ordered for bhindi fry (sukka).
We just had it as such and loved the simple ingredients yet tasty. So I wanted to try that way, but ended up making this aloo bhindi fry.
I really enjoyed the food when I was there. My MIL actually warned us when we left to Pune that we will be starving.
But she doesn’t knows my love towards north Indian food. So I totally enjoyed in Pune.
If I visit Pune again, I will enjoy more as I know now what we get and where at least a few.
Top tip
Always wash and dry ladies finger completely before cutting. If there is water/ moisture, it becomes more slimy making it difficult to handle.
Check out my gravy version of this recipe.
Step by step photos
- Clean and chop ladies finger into bite size pieces. In a microwavable bowl, add the ladies finger and toss it with 2 teaspoon of oil. Microwave high for 2-3 minutes with stirring in between. This will help reduce the stickiness.
- Chop onions finely, cube the potatoes. Heat kadai with remaining oil and splutter jeera. Add finely chopped onion and fry till transparent. Add cubed aloo and sprinkle some salt for it. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the microwaved ladies finger. Add more oil if needed and check for salt. Cook covered for 5 minutes.
- Add red chilli powder and amchoor powder. Give a stir for a minute. Finally add chopped coriander leaves.
We had it with rice and dal. Pair it with any rice variety. Or even you can eat it with phulka/ roti.

Should we boil the potato before cooking it... in the picture it seems like it has been boiled.
Raks anand
No I did not boil, just kept sauteeing as mentioned in the steps
Anusha Madhavan
Raji, Can I replace Amchoor powder with tomatoes as you have mentioned. If yes, can you please mention the number of tomatoes required for this recipe? Also, should the tomato be added after the onion and before the potato and ladies finger ?
Thank you !
Raks anand
