Ingredients
 
 

  • 200 grams Okra
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Garam Masala Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin Powder
  • Cooking Oil or Ghee for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the okra under water and pat them completely dry with a kitchen napkin.
  • Trim off the crown and the base tip of each okra. Slice each okra in half lengthwise, then cut each half into strips. Remove any large seeds.
  • Place the sliced okra in a large bowl. Season with salt, turmeric, Kashmiri red chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the spices.
  • Heat a large pot of olive oil or ghee to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the seasoned okra in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
  • Fry each batch for about 4-5 minutes or until the okra is crispy and golden brown.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the okra from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the Kurkuri Bhindi hot.

Notes

Nutrition: Since this dish is deep fried, calculating the macros is dependent on how much oil the okra absorbs. For this recipe, I added 1 tbsp of oil per serving of 100 grams of okra.
