Stuffed Okra (Bhindi/vendaikai)

This is a time consuming but extremely delicious side dish.this might even take 45- 1hr to complete the dish.
To make faster I chose small bhindis...but this is only available in our stores.! Ha Ha
The is so flavorful.This is actually a Gujarati dish, known as Bhindi Sambhariya but we don't like sweetness in dishes I avoided sugar /jaggery in this.Cook this in non stick pan ,you can avoid little more oil.
