  1. Hi I was just curious should the bhindi be cooked in a non stick pan to avoid burning ...because besan atta turns brown fast...will the bhendi be crispy or soft

  2. Hi Ashwini ..Thanks so much for the comment. You can cook the bhindi in non-stick as well. But you don't have to worry even as Bhindi has ample water content.So use a bit more oil to fry it. Happy Cooking !
