Instead of discarding bhindi stems, a simple bhurji can be made by sautéing them with chana dal, urad dal, garlic, dried red chili, spices, and coconut.
Aaj Tak has highlighted a new way to use bhindi stems, turning what is usually discarded into a flavorful bhurji.
The recipe calls for chopped bhindi stems, a mix of chana and urad dal, minced garlic, a pinch of dried red chili, and a blend of standard Indian spices. Coconut is added for a subtle sweetness.
To prepare, the stems are sautéed until tender, then the dals are cooked with the spices and coconut until the mixture thickens. The dish is finished with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of fresh coriander.
The result is a quick, nutrient‑rich bhurji that pairs well with roti, paratha, or rice, offering a tasty way to reduce kitchen waste.
