Indian Okra, or Bhindi, is often a darker green pod that stays tender longer, is shiny and smooth, and easy to pick. This variety was initially grown for our catalog by Nital Vadalia-Kakadia who says:
"My mother-in-law has been growing them for many many years and she saves the seeds each year. She gave me some and I grow them in my backyard each year as well. Bhindi is one of my family's favorite vegetables. It is cooked in many different ways: stuffed, fried, and sauteed, and they all taste fabulous! It is also special to me because it reminds me of my mother's and aunt's kitchen growing up, and the aroma of the Bhindi cooking in spices is just unbeatable!!"
