Notes

  • Use young tender ladies finger for taste, it cooks much faster.
  • Make sure the ladies finger is completely washed and dried before slicing. It prevent okra from going slimy.
  • You can add more or less spice powders as you prefer.
  • Along with gram flour, you can ad some rice flour or cornstarch too.
  • Fry bhindi just before serving to retain its maximum crispy texture.
  • Make sure your oil is hot enough before dropping in the bhindi, else the bhindi will absorb lots of oil.
  • If you are serving it as a starter, make sure you sprinkle with some chaat masala after it is fried. It adds a zingy taste to the end product.
