The bhindi can be prepped ahead of time and refrigerated and deep fried just before serving.

Alternatives and Tips

A great alternative to deep frying would be air frying the marinated okra for 10 minutes with just a teaspoon of oil.This will be healthier and faster than deep frying.

Make sure you dry the bhindi before slicing it.This will make sure it's not left sticky and gummy.
