We recently bought an air fryer and just loved it. Although many of my friends gave good reviews about it but we were still confused about it. Finally, we welcomed the air fryer in our home after much deliberation. Somewhere Pandemic was one of the reasons to buy it as many of us became home chefs after trying so many different recipes due to lockdown. Today I am sharing, kurkuri bhindi recipe in airfryer.

We have tried making many different recipes and this kurkuri bhindi recipe is one of our favourite. It is easy to make like all my recipes and the best part is that this one is nutritious too.

Airfryer benefits –

Fried food normally is supposed to be crispy due to deep frying. In an air fryer, the hot air performs the same function and you get a crispy dish. The main benefit of air fryer is the use of less or no oil. So, in return, there is low fat and calorie intake. Also, you get the food with the same texture and taste.

We bought the Philips air fryer after checking a lot of reviews and we are happy with it. Although there are many good ones available in the market. You can check the ones which are a little spacious too as the only thing we miss on this one is the space. You can only cook little at a time in this one.
