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 :)

Crispy Fried Fish

Just thought of trying this fried fish recipe.Nothing great just a simple change i made and was a nice refreshing new change.I've heard that Mangaloreans and Maharashtrians do their fried fish dipped in semolina.This makes the fish a nice crispy coating and a tender insides.

To make this you need

Fish 2 numbers cleaned and washed with gashes (any kind,I;ve used Red snapper in the picture)

To make the marinade:
Cumin seed powder 1/4 tsp
Pepper Powder 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder a pinch
Salt to taste
Coriander powder 1/2 tsp
Oil to mix the above into a smooth paste

To dip : a mixture of equal parts of rice flour and semolina with a pinch of salt(optional)

- Rub the marinade into the fish and leave it in the refrigerator for a few hours(or atleast half hour)
- Heat the oil to fry(deep/shallow) and just before frying the fish, dip it into the rice flour + semolina mix.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve hot with rice or as it is!I would prefer to have a bowl of rasam rice and fried fish!perfect comfort food!
