Ingredients:

➤250g fresh okra (bhindi), washed and dried

➤1 cup gram flour (besan)

➤2 tbsp rice flour

➤1 tsp red chili powder

➤1/2 tsp turmeric powder

➤1 tsp coriander powder

➤1/2 tsp cumin powder

➤1/2 tsp amchur (dry mango powder)

➤Salt to taste

➤Oil for deep frying

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

➤Wash the okra and pat them completely dry using a kitchen towel. Ensure there is no moisture on the      okra; this helps in achieving a crisp texture.

2. Trimming and Slicing:

➤Trim the ends of the okra and slice them lengthwise into thin strips or rounds, depending on your            preference.

3. Making the Spice Mix:

➤In a bowl, mix gram flour (besan), rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder,         cumin powder, amchur (dry mango powder), and salt. This mixture will be used to coat the okra.

4. Coating the Okra:

➤Toss the sliced okra in the spice mix until each piece is evenly coated. Ensure that the okra is coated      well, and the spices adhere to it.

5. Frying:

➤Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece      of the coated okra into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top, the oil is ready for frying.

6. Frying in Batches:

➤Fry the coated okra in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding can cause the        okra to stick together.

7. Crispy Texture:

➤Fry until the okra turns golden brown and becomes crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even frying.

8. Draining Excess Oil:

➤Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried okra from the oil, allowing excess oil to drain.

9. Serve:

➤Serve Kurkuri Bhindi hot as a side dish with roti, paratha, or as a crunchy snack.

Enjoy the crispy and flavorful Bhindi Fry as a delightful side dish or snack. Adjust the spice levels according to your taste preferences.
