KitchenMasti Points.

1. See to it that you do not use sour curds.
2. Instead of frying the bendi with oil, alternatively soak the bendis in tamarind syrup for 5 minutes and then you could use the bendi.
3. If you do not like garlic, then you may omit the same.
4. Sugar is optional. I have used sugar in this recipe in order to balance the tanginess of the curds and tomato.
5. This is not the dahi bhindi ki sabzi recipe, but the gravy version of it.
