Bhindi Subzi (Okra Stir-Fry) image

Bhindi Subzi is okra cooked with onions and tomatoes. Simple to cook but often misunderstood. My husband was not a big fan of okra but devoured and raved about this dish! Mission accomplished! Serve with roti, naan, or a wrap.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my okra didn't turn out as tender as I would have liked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
