Lori made this for an office pot luck and it was a big hit. I got a big kick just pronouncing the complicated name to everybody who was asking what it is.
It has become a regular dish in our family now and is one of my favourites. Last time Lori served this with lemon rice and It tasted just like a dish from one of the authentic south indian places in Matunga (my college days haunt for cheap and good south indian food).
Thanks for the recipe.
-Adi

Thanks everyone for the warm coments - This recipe is a little tricky to make, its difficult to get the right texture for the bhindi after its cooked. I had this at a restaurant in Bangalore - called Tandoor where it was so phenomenal that i had to try this at home. But I did have a few comments that it did not turn out as well. As I said, bhindi is a difficult vegetable to get the right texture…

Thanks for all your comments. Yes carrie - this is probably a non tex mex version… Infact this is such a versatile recipe, that it can be modified to suit individual palates. Thanks for visiting.

Yes absolutely yummy and textury and not really creamy. Good idea Cynthia - roasted peanuts would be a good option as well
