Bhenga Gojju (aka Okra-yogurt “salad”)

This is one of my favorite dish that is quick and easy to make and tastes delicious.

Ingredients
– 1/2lb Fresh Okra (please do not try this with frozen okra!)
– 3C almond yogurt
– 1t chilly powder
– 1t mustard seeds
– 6-8 curry leaves
– 1T coriander leaves, chopped

 

Method

Cut the okra into small pieces, sprinkle salt on them and shallow fry them till they are all evenly brown. Take them off the pan, sprinkle the chilly powder and toss well and set aside. Meanwhile, mix the yogurt with a fort till it has a smooth consistency. In a small pan, take some oil and heat it on high. When it is really hot, reduce to medium heat, add the mustard seeds and cover it with a lid and wait till they stop sputtering. To this, add the curry leaves and again cover it. Turn the heat off. Meanwhile, add the okra to the yogurt, top it with the curry leaf-mustard seed tempering and the chopped coriander leaves. Serve as an accompaniment to rice/daal combinations or as a meal with some chapattis.

MUNNI TRIVEDI

My condition was progressively deteriorating over the past 2 years. I’d been good at taking my medicine and exercising so knew I should have felt better. My arthritis and scleroderma were really affecting my quality of life. Increasing pain and fatigue were wearing me down.

Dr. Jenny and Ajoy came well-recommended so I got in touch. I completed a short questionnaire before my consultation. Covid meant it was all done over VC. They put me at ease, and it was like we were in the same room. They asked all the right medical and lifestyle questions without judgement. They devised a plan which was holistic, realistic and easy to follow. Their gentle and knowledgeable coaching kept me on track.

The resulting decrease in swelling and pain has given me a new lease of life in a few weeks. I feel so much better and look so much happier. I felt they were genuinely interested in my well-being. Happy to highly recommend them.
