We are always looking for good Indian food in South Austin. In a previous visit, we tried the lunch buffet at Tandoori Bistro (1605 E. Oltorf, Austin, TX 512-383-8210) and liked it, so we came back for dinner to try more things.

  • I am glad to see some new entries (perhaps I should say "entrées"?) to the "What I Ate" blog. Appetizing, as always. Thanks for your efforts!

  • The bhindi masala is a south Indian dish, Okara or lady finger in north is dry, very dry, normally called "bhindi", easy to cook, fry sliced onions in oil till they turn brown, add turmeric powder, coriander powder, grounded chilli powder, salt and fry for a half a minute add okara chopped in inch long pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes with pan covered with a lid. This is the simplest recipe and you can replace Okara with cauliflower or cabbage or even potatoes to create similar dishes.
