Yeah ! Read it right !! Such weird combination dish names are common when you have criss cross marriage. The original name of the Marwari recipe is BESANWALI BHINDI and the preparation is very similar to the way Maharashtrians prepare the recipe with Gramflour, hence the combo name.
Infact this recipe itself is the combination of two types of stuffed Okra preparation ; one with Masalas and other with Besan and onion. I got this recipe from my Sanjeev Kapoors online cookbook.
Source : Sanjeev kapoors Besanwali Bhindi – Marwari style.
Normally whenever I jot about the Bookmarked recipe I never give minute details, as I want and prefer that whoever reads this space should visit the original source hence giving the right credits.
So skipping details, Majorly You Need:
Okra , Onion, Besan and Masalas to stuff the Okra. I followed SK and used all the mentioned Masalas – Turmeric Powder, Garam Masala, Cumin Powder, Dry Mango (Amchur) Powder, Fennel Seeds- crushed, Red Chili Powder and Coriander Powder.
You Do:
Mix all the masalas in BLUE along with salt. Slit the Okras so that you can stuff the slits with the prepared masala mix. Heat up Oil in Non – stick, Temper with Onion Seeds – I din’t have then so I used Sesame Seeds instead. Sauté onion in oil till it caramelizes. Then add the Besan and roast it for 3-4 mins. 
Later add the stuffed Okra and let it cook with lid covered. If it takes more time, sprinkle some water so that steam fastens the cooking time.Stir occasionally; okra is done when it turns light brown and crispy.
This is a nice variation to the normal routine okra dish.
Thanks to the main ingredients Amchur and Saunf, this goes to following event :
- Think Spice: Think Amchur event of Bhagyashree originally started by Sunita of Think Spice.
- JFI: Fennel of Siri originally started by Indira.
Happy Cooking and Posting about it !

Hey Kanchan...I'm a Marwari and this besanwali bhindi happens to be my favourite :)
The magic ingredients in it are indeed amchur and saunf...I also like to sprinkle lots of coriander leaves on it after putting off the flame...it tastes nice too :)
wow kanchan behndi looks very tempting...i love this...ur r very tempting
Hi
Bhindi bhaji looks delicious and tasty!! I made bhindi today, not stuffed...
Love stuffed bhindi..it's been ages since I had this...You made me craving for them, now :D
Wow... Just wow... Okra is one all-time fav for both DH and me (one place where we both agree!) and this one sure will be a hit... Bookmarking ur bookmark! :)
@Varsh,
Hey Nice to see you here. The Besan and masala give the crispy taste to this instead of the normal soft okras.
I always forget the poor coriander leaves and recollect when they are near to turn yellow then prepare coriander paratha.
@Siddhi,
Thank you.
@Jagruti,
Even I normally prepare the Okra fry and keep the stuffed ones for special occasions.
@Gulmohar,
Thanks.
@Rohini,
Thanks dear, I dint prefer the Okras earlier cos don’t like the soft smashy version but nowadays prefer these crisyp versions.
Sounds very interesting!Will try and let you know
I love besan in my dry veggies especially stuffing, love the dish!
Wish you and your family a very Happy Holi.
