Say this to the waiter (Hindi)
Bharwan Bhindi में चीनी, कोई आटा या गाढ़ा करने वाला पदार्थ, और आलू या कोई भी स्टार्च वाली चीज़ stuffing में मत डालिए।
For the Bharwan Bhindi, please ensure no sugar, no flour or thickeners, and no potatoes/high-carb fillers in the stuffing.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar, excessive use of onions/tomatoes in the stuffing, starchy fillers in the stuffing. Okra itself has moderate carbs, so portion control.
