Bhindi in mustard sauce

  This is an okra recipe that is cooked with mustard sauce or a bhindi masala with mustard seed paste. The mustard paste has a pungent aroma to it, so it needs to be cooked well so that the pungency and the bitterness of the mustards goes away. The bhindi soaks up the sauce , hence making the curry rich in flavor. Goes well with a bowl of steaming hot rice for main course.
