Bhindi Tawa Pulao instructions

5. My innovative take on the popular Rice dish from Mumbai. The star vegetable here is ofcourse Okra or Bhindi. I have kept the same ingredients required for making this famous Pulao except for the change in the vegetable being added. You will definitely love this variation and Bhindi has never tasted so much better, Trust me friends. This fabulous twist by me is a one to reckon with. This will be a perfect meal on any given day. Serve it with Pickle, Sabzi or any Raita of your choice..
