How to Make Kurkuri Bhindi Fry :

1. Wash and cut the okra in a slanting shape. It should be thin stripes. Only then we will get crispy fry.
2. Sprinkle red chilli powder, amchoor powder, asafoetida and turmeric powder on top of it and mix well.
3. Next add the gram flour and rice flour. Mix well until the okras are coated with the gram flour.
4. Finally add salt and mix well.
5. Deep fry it in batches in a kadai with hot oil over medium heat. Fry each batch for about 3 minutes and not more than that. It should have some green colour and not be like tasteless sticks.
6. Remove from oil using slotted spoon and drain excess oil using paper towel. You will get nice crispy bhindi fry.
