Crispy Bhendi/ Crispy Bhindi

Bhendi, Bhindi, Dherosh or Ladies Finger whatever you say, it is considered to be a sticky vegetable. We never thought of making it interesting because of it's sticky nature. At least I thought in that way and I was wrong. I tried to make it crispy and it comes out to be great.So let me share another experimental recipe of my kitchen.

Ingredients:

• Bhindi/ Ladies Finger 250gms
• Corn flour 2 teaspoon
• Red Chili Powder 1/3 rd teaspoon
• Turmeric Powder 1/3rd teaspoon
• Salt as per taste
• Gram flour 1 cup
• Rice flour 1 tablespoon
• Oil to deep fry
• 1/2 teaspoon chat masala
• Pinch of baking powder.

Process:

• First we need to clean the bhindi. For that cut into half vertically then remove the seed from it. though removing seed is optional. I remove it because my husband does not like to eat it with the seeds.Remember to wash the bhindi before cutting, otherwise it will become sticky. Take a kitchen tissue and soak the excess water of the bhindi after cutting it.
• Add salt,red chili and cornflour into it and mix it really well. Cornflour will help it make it really dry.

• Take a bowl and add gram flour,rice flour,turmeric powder,red chili powder,baking powder and salt. Add some water into it and make a thick batter.
• Take a pan , pour the oil to deep fry and put it in high flame till it become hot.
• Take one bhindi, dip it into the batter and pour it into the hot oil. Do the same for all the bhindi.
• After frying it for 5 mins on one side turn it on the other side and then decrease the heat to medium.
• Fry it in medium heat for another 10-15min.
• After 15mins take it out in a serving plate.
• Sprinkle some chat masala on top and the Crispy Bhindi is all ready to eat.
