okra rasam recipe | Bhindi rasam recipe
I hope you have tried beetroot rasam, tomato rasam and many more rasam recipes from our foodandremedy channel. Here is an another addition to the rasam recipes – bhindi rasam /okra rasam.
Rasam is one of the main side dishes in south indian meals. My father used to say – when you begin your meals, always start with any liquid items with rice like Rasam, pepper jeera rasam, or tambuli. It is believed to help in digestion of the remaining food we consume. Also you should end the meals with buttermilk rice.
Bendekai/Okra/ lady”s finger is high fiber, low calorie vegetable. Okra are the good source of folates, vitamin C and contains Vitamin K. Bendekayi is rich in iron, calcium, and magnesium as well. For kids and adults okra is one the healthiest vegetables to be served at least once a week.
Try this easy with green rasam with okra or bendekayi or bhindi.
