Instructions

  • Please use fresh and not frozen okra for this recipe. Clean and wash bhindi. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Trim the bhindi head and tail off. Cut them in long thin strips. Transfer the cut bhindi to a mixing bowl. Now it's time to add all the dry spices.
  • Add chilly powder, turmeric powder, amchur powder, garlic powder, onion powder, chickpea flour/besan, sesame seeds, anardana powder or pomegranate powder and salt. If you feel the masala is less, then add more besan to it. Toss it all together so that bhindi gets coated with the masala. Marinate this for 30 minutes. Heat oil for frying. Fry these marinated masala bhindi till they turn golden and crispy. You can even shallow fry them if you plan to have in as a weeknight meal and want to tone down the oil consumption. But if you are making it for guests or for a party, I suggest you deep-fry them. They taste awesome when they are fried. Fry them in small batches and be careful to not crowd them in the frying pan. Fry them on a medium flame and only take them out when you feel they have become crunchy. This could take a couple of minutes and taking them out before would not yield the desired results. Soak the excess oil using a kitchen towel and serve Kurkuri Masala Bhindi immediately. It tastes best when served as soon as its fried. They pair well with Dal and Rice or with chapati/naan.
