Lady’s finger Dosa recipe with step by step photos | How to do Okra dosa | Bendekayi dose

Never in my wildest imagination, I had thought that anybody could make dosa out of lady’s finger !!! A few years ago, in a Facebook group when I first saw these crispy ” Lady’s Finger Dosa / Bhindi Dosa “.. I was like ” What !!! Dosa out of Lady’s finger !! How will it taste ?? Will, it is not sticky ??!! “. But I was so amazed seeing the okra dosa pic, that I went ahead and bookmarked the recipe as must-try. I am glad I did try as I was in for a wonderful surprise… Wow !! The dosas had turned so thin, crispy, flavorful and of course super yummy and easy… Now, these Lady’s finger dosa has become a regular in my home…
When I tried this dosa 1st time, i was so panicked seeing the dosa batter. It was so so slimy. I was so upset and felt what do I do with this batter now?? To my surprise when I did dosa out of them.. they were so perfect just like any other dosa. My mom and friends too took the recipe from me and tried and were amused by the end result. Everyone just loved them. Do try friends.. I’m sure you too would love it and add it to your breakfast list…
It ‘s also a good way to finish of those few remaining Okras sitting in the fridge. In fact, even with just tips of bhindi you can make these flavorful dosas. The fresh veggies goes in to make Bhindi sabzi and those tips which we otherwise throw as thrash can be used to make this bhindi dosa. So are you ready to make a note of these crispy Bebndekayi Dose …Here we go…
