Mantra Indian Cuisine & Bar

The menu at Mantra describes Kurkuri bhindi as “julienned okra lightly breaded with Rajasthani spices and sea salt.” It’s a relatively modest offering on a list whose ambitious sweep encompasses everything from day boat scallops in mint-cilantro sauce to cardamom-, lemon- and garlic-marinated tandoori lamb chops. But Kurkuri bhindi is the first thing I look for when I open the menu.
