Crispy Bhindi Fry makes a tasty accompaniment with any meal. It is loved by one and all.

Bhindi is the common name for ladies finger or okra. It is a versatile vegetable which can be turned into crispy fried savouries or as a stir fry. The stuffed okra is simply irresistible. The weather calls for fried food and I ended up frying it, Tasty Bhindi Fry is on the blog today. I like this recipe for it’s simplicity, no extra dressings or garnishing; but yet, it is tasty and loved by all.

Bhindi fry

It makes a good accompaniment  with hot steamed rice, a dollop of ghee elevates the taste. The best way is to eat it along with rice and sambar.

Let’s get over to the recipe of Bhindi Fry

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg ladys finger/okra/ bhindi
  • salt to taste
  • 3 teaspoon chilli powder
  • oil for frying

Method:

  1. Wash and dry the okra. Cut them into thin pieces.
  2. Take oil in a pan.
  3. Heat it.
  4. Once it it is hot, slowly put a bowl of it.
  5. Deep fry on medium flame, after sometime, keep it on high for sometime. Keep stirring with a ladle.
  6. Once it is light brown in colour, remove it on a tissue paper.
  7. Put the next batch to fry.
  8. Take the fried ones and put them in a bowl. Add a little salt and chilly powder (1/2 teaspoon). Mix it well.
  9. You need to repeat this step every time.
  10. Store in a air tight container.

Take a tip:

  • Cut into thin slices.
  • Be careful while frying. Once, it is golden, remove it on a tissue paper. It does not taste good if it gets darker.
  • Add salt and chilly powder accordingly.
  • Close the lid once it is cool.

Fried okra is a common dish in the southern states of the U.S. I never cared for it when I was a child. Now, I much prefer pickled okra. The plants make beautiful ornamantals.

I love the idea of spicy fried okra. I bet this would be good as a TV watching munching snack as well as a side dish. Thank you for sharing!

I love bhindi! We fry okra in the American south differently, but I love it both ways. The chili here looks so yummy!

Crispy bhindi with few spices, now that is definitely tempting. We love fried okra, but nowadays don’t make it too often.
