How to make Kurkuri Bhindi Fry

Step 1: First, Wash and dry the ladies finger.Slice the ladies finger lengthwise into long sticks.

Step 2: Mix it with the seasoning made of besan,salt,coriander powder,Chilli powder, dry mango powder & turmeric.Set aside for 15 minutes so that the spices are absorbed in the okra.

Step 3: Deep fry in hot oil in batches and serve hot!

How to serve Cripsy Ladies Finger?

Serve this as a vegetarian appetiser or as a side with a Curry like Dal Fry and Rice.

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.
