Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • Okra (Bhindi or ladies finger) - 250 gms
  • Gram flour (besan) - 3 tbsp
  • Rice flour - 1 tbsp
  • Salt - As per taste
  • Red Chili powder - 2 tsp
  • Amchoor Powder - 1 tsp
  • Asafoetida - a pinch
  • Turmeric powder - a pinch
  • Oil - for frying

Instruction

  • Wash and cut the okra in a slanting shape. It should be thin stripes. Only then we will get crispy fry.
  • Sprinkle red chilli powder, amchoor powder, asafoetida and turmeric powder on top of it and mix well.
  • Next add the gram flour and rice flour. Mix well until the okras are coated with the gram flour.
  • Finally add salt and mix well.
  • Deep fry it in batches in a kadai with hot oil over medium heat. Fry each batch for about 3 minutes and not more than that. It should have some green colour and not be like tasteless sticks.
  • Remove from oil using slotted spoon and drain excess oil using paper towel. You will get nice crispy bhindi fry.
