Crispy Bhindi/Okra/Ladyfingers

Fried bhindis/ladyfingers are really yummy, when i was young our family friend in Mumbai, whenever this aunty invited us over for lunch,she made fried bhindis and aloo tikkis (potato patties) and i used to love them both :)

I saw Anjum Anand make this on Indian food made easy and tried it immediately,its just a variation to the normal fried bhindis.

This tastes good with any dals and steamed rice.I served it with tomato curry and steamed rice.You can fry it to a soft crisp bhindi or crunchy munchy bhindis by adding more of the flours.

You need

Ladyfingers/okra/bhindi half kg
Besan/gram flour 2 tablespoons(or more)
Rice flour 1 tablespoon(or more)
Salt to taste
chili powder 1 tsp
Chaat masala to sprinkle (optional)
Oil to deep fry

 -Wash the bhindis,dry them on a kitchen towel and snip the ends of the bhindi and cut into about 2 inch pieces.
 - Sprinkle the besan,rice flour salt and chilli powder over the chopped bhindis and add a little water so that the powders coat the bhindi roughly.
- All to sit for some time and deep fry this.Drain on a kitchen napkin.

- Serve hot with dal and rice :)

- Enjoy the crispy bhindis :)

Ladyfinger in tomato gravy/Bhindi masala

I came up with this idea inspired from our common egg burji recipe.I followed suite and this recipe is a keeper!

I regularly make this as its easy to make and also tasty,makes a good combi for both steamed rice and chapatis or indian breads.

Okra/Ladyfingers/bhindi/vendakka 2 cups chopped into 1 inch pieces
Onion 1 large chopped finely
Tomato 1 large chopped finely
Garlic 2 pounded/chopped finely
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Coriander powder 1 tsp
Red chilli powder 1 tsp
salt to taste
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Lime juice 1 tsp
Oil 2 tablespoons

• Shallow fry the bhindi/vendakka in a pan until the gooey-ness goes away.
• Heat oil in pan, splutter cumin seeds and then add the onions and fry until translucent.
• Add the garlic and fry, now add the tomato and let it fry well until the tomato mashes and also the oil starts coming out of the sides.
• Now add the masala powders turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder and salt.
• Add the fried bhindis and add little bit of water so that the bhindis go soft and get coated well in the onion tomato masala.
• Add the lime juice just before you turn off the stove.
