Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g bhindi okra/ladyfinger, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp besan gram flour
  • 1 tbsp rice flour optional
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • ½ tsp chaat masala
  • ½ tsp cumin powder
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp lemon juice or amchoor powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for deep frying

Method
 

1. Prep the bhindi:
  1. Wash, dry, and slice bhindi thinly lengthwise (into 4–6 strips).
2. Coat with spices:
  1. Mix bhindi with besan, rice flour, cornflour, and all spices. Use hands to coat well. Do not add water.
3. Deep fry:
  1. Heat oil over medium-high. Fry bhindi in small batches until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
4. Serve hot:
  1. Sprinkle chaat masala and serve immediately as a crunchy side or snack.

Notes

  • Slice bhindi uniformly for even frying.
  • Avoid adding water; bhindi’s moisture is enough.
  • Fry on medium-high flame for perfect crispness.
  • Serve right after frying to retain crunch.
