Bhindi Kurkuri/Crispy Okra

An extremely tasty starter, okra crisp fried to perfection can be a delight on the palette. Made it after my son saw the fresh green bhindi sent to us by Sahyadri Farms. First try was an awesome success. Hope you enjoy making this in your kitchens too. I made it this way....

Ingredinets
1/4 kg okra washed wiped and left spread to dry on a cloth
For marination
1/2 cup chick pea flour
Salt to taste
1/2 tspn turmeric powder
1 tspn coriander powder
1 tspn chilli powder
1 tspn cumin powder
1 tspn dry mango powder
1 tspn chaat masala
1 tspn garam masala

Oil for frying

Method 
Once dry, chop each okra into four pieces length wise, spread in a large bowl, add all the ingredients given for marination, give them a nice mix and leave this for about 5 to 7 minutes, now keep the oil for frying them, you need to separate and fry the pieces, a long process... yes, but you want to eat tasty food then you need patience!! So, fry them in small batches, keep on a plate with tissue paper, to absorb excess oil, and also, they don't release water and all you efforts go waste. After frying all the ladies finger, you can eat them as they are or with dal rice, rolled in rotis, as you wish.
