Kurkuri bhindi is a healthier version of normal deep fried bhindi. It is a healthier alternative to the normal crispy fried okra recipe.
Ingredients
½ kg bhindi
½ teaspoon garam masala
¼ teaspoon turmeric
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chili powder
½ tsp amchur (mango powder)
2 tablespoons besan
1 tsp chaat masala
2 tbsp oil
Salt according to taste
Lemon juice (half lemon)
Mustard oil – 2 tbsp
Instructions
First of all, wash and dry bhindi/okra completely before using.
Now cut it lengthwise. Now take a mixing bowl and add all the spices, and besan and mix everything nicely.
Next, add cut okra/bhindi in this bowl and coat the mixture on it nicely.
Now add mustard oil and mix everything nicely. Leave it for some time.
By that time, Preheat the air fryer at 180 degrees c.
After 10-15 minutes, add the lemon juice and mix it again. Now little brush the air fryer basket with oil and place the okra/bhindi. Do not overcrowd it, you can cook in 2 batches.
Cook it for 10 minutes first t 160 degrees. Make sure to shake it in between and again cook for 10 more minutes at 180 degrees.
Normally it cooks in 15 minutes but if you want more crispier bhindi, you can keep it for 5 more minutes.
Once done, serve with chappatis or you can enjoy it as it is like snacks.
Notes
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can even cook these in the oven at 180 degrees C.
You can also add any other masalas of your choice.
If you don’t like too much crispiness, you can reduce the time of cooking.
In the same way, you can try other vegetables in an air fryer like bitter gourd, potatoes etc.
