Indulge in the ultimate holiday treat with our Billionaire’s Latte – a coffee drink inspired by the decadent layers of millionaire’s shortbread.
This luxurious drink combines the velvety richness of a classic latte with a luscious caramel layer, chocolate, and a sprinkle of crumbly biscuit for the perfect finishing touch.

Bharwa Bhindi is a delicious sabji and is also known as Bharela Bhinda or Bhinda Sambharia. Fresh and tender okra are stuffed with a flavourful Gujarati style aromatic masala. Naturally vegan and gluten-free.

Whenever my Mum made the trip to the Indian grocery store, she would without fail get okra. If they looked fresh, she always bought a batch. That very same evening, we would have a meal with bhinda as the main, whether its this bharwa bhindi, gujarati style bhinda nu shaak or bhindi bhaji .
It is almost always served with gujarati dal , boiled basmati rice and gujarati rotli for a healthy, well balanced meal.
Bharela bhinda is made by stuffing whole okra in a tangy masala. The okra are then cooked in the pan simply with oil and cumin seeds until tender.
The trick to nailing this recipe is to use the freshest bhinda and to cook the okra well.
Okra need to be washed and then dried thoroughly before cutting into. Cooking okra with moisture leads to slimy okra so it is best to either let them air dry or thoroughly wipe individually with a clean kitchen towel.
The stuffing also plays a large part in the success of this recipe as that is where all the flavour comes from. Freshly prepared masala is best. You can also use this masala to make bharela ravaiya or bharwa karela .
Ingredients notes
Okra – available in Indian grocery stores and some supermarkets. Always look for okra that are bright green and plump. Bhinda that are discolouring, sinking in and softening are old. As this is a stuffed recipe, you cannot use frozen okra.
Bharwan masala – the stuffing masala is made from coconut, coriander and indian spices.
Oil
Cumin seeds and mustard seeds or either
Hing – optional
Serving suggestion
Bharwa bhindi is a dry curry, or sabzi, so is best paired with a dal. There are many dal recipes that would work well such as Gujarati dal or Masoor dal .
Flatbreads like wholemeal chapati , mag ni chutti dal and gujarati kadhi go best with okra recipes and the curry can be part of your Gujarati thali .
Storage
Store leftover bharela bhinda in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop.
I do not recommend freezing this recipe as the okra will loose their texture.
