Tangy Crispy Bhindi

Again something that I tried because I wanted something different with one of my favourite veggie - bhindi :)... But ofcourse this is not a dish for the calorie conscious ppl but for those who would enjoy tangy taste.

INGREDIENTS:

Bhindi / okra / ladyfinger - 1/2 kg (preferably small sized)
Onion - 1 thinly chopped
MDH Kictchen king masala - 3-4 tsp
Besan - 2 tblsp
Turmeric - a pinch
Jeera - 1 tsp
Oil - 4-5 tblsp (you can add as much as you want to make it as crisp as you like)
Salt - to taste

PREPARATION:

Mix the MDH kitchen king masala and salt with okra in a bowl and leave aside for sometime. After a while the okra will leave water because of the salt, at that time add besan and keep aside for 5-10 minutes.


RECIPE :

Slit the okra in four or more parts depending on the size of the okra. If the okra you bought is the big kinds then half it first then slit in strips.

Heat oil in a pan add jeera when the oil is hot. After it stops sizzling add onion and saute well. Then add the marinated okra and continue to fry.

Add more if you want the okra to be more crispy and fry as much crispy as you would like. Once done you could drain it into a kitchen paper if you have used more oil.

Tip: You could enjoy this dish like this with chapathi or rice or even add a dash of lemon to it.
