ABOUT Microwave Bharwa Bhindi / Stuffed Okra in Microwave Recipe RECIPE

Bharva Bhindi is a delicious Indian Okra preparation which is served as a side dish with chapati , poori or paratha. A very easy recipe and can be cooked both on cook top or in a Microwave. I generally cook food using gas stove but cooking in a microwave is very fuss free and saves lots of time. Whenever i have some guest over dinner or lunch and many stuffs to cook, this recipe comes to my rescue. Microwave cooking also works when we shift to a new place and Gas transfers take time :)
