This ladyfinger recipe is for them who just don’t like the texture and the taste of ladyfinger. Also, you can include this recipe to your keto diet. Many people called this vegetable ‘OKRA’. In India, this vegetable name is ‘BHINDI’.Usually, okra has no taste of its own. But if you make this nutritious vegetable in the right way it’s taste can be compared with any other tasty vegetables.
As we all know most Indians are vegetarian and nowadays the trend is more. As a vegetarian, they consume vegetables only. Therefore those people who are vegetarian and trying to get into keto diet, they just don’t find much-eating options to maintain their diet. Because of this reason, nowadays many Indian vegetarian people are finding the new recipes to do vegan keto diet. This recipe is one of them. Most of the time Indian keto dieters make simple Bhindi bhaji or Bhindi masala recipe. This recipe is also a dry curry or BhIndi masala type of dish But not same as usually prepared by many. I used a HOMEMADE Maharashtrian kolhapuri curry paste to make this super delicious Okra recipe.

Why am I cooking this ladyfinger recipe In Indian way?
Okra or ladyfinger can be cooked in many ways. I tried to make this vegetable with Arabic spices which also taste good but not as good as Indian ladyfinger recipe. When I was in An Arab country I learned many Arabic recipes there. A stew with okra is one of my favourite among them. One day I will share that recipe. But that recipe is non-veg one. Therefore I was constantly searching for a vegetarian recipe to share on my blog as a keto diet recipe, which I luckily got from a Marathi magazine. But the spices they used on that recipe wasn’t keto friendly. Because of this, I decided to make another Maharashtrian curry paste to make this recipe and after cooking I find It just perfect.
Why should you eat this healthy veggie when you are on any diet or maybe not?
The slimy texture of ladyfinger no one like I know. Even I don’t like the slimy texture of leady finger otherwise it’s a really good vegetable for all not only for keto dieters. Okra or ladyfinger has the goodness of natural fibre which we all need for good health. I always recommend this superfood to many of my friends for their kids who have constipation problem. When my son was 3 years old he got a serious constipation problem and doctor suggested me to give him natural fibre-rich food especially Ladyfinger/Okra.
When he started to eat this it helped him a lot and he just healed by its nutritious properties. Many Keto dieters always face this constipation problem because of the high intake of Fatty foods. I also recommend this superfood for them. And if you are a non-veg keto dieter you also can eat this dish. This recipe is fit for their diet too. Don’t worry about the taste of the dish. If you, believe me, I can assure you once you make and eat this you will agree with my words ‘IT TASTES JUST AMAZING‘.
