Dear Padhu, I am keen follower. There is another variation Sindhi style where stir fried Bhindi is cooked with onions and tomato and goes well with roti. Talk to some Sindhi friend and add to your great website. I do not have the recipe but tasted once at a restaurant.
Fantastic combo, an excellent side dish for curd rice.
