Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh okra
- 100 grams Chickpea flour (besan)
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dry mango powder)
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 100 milliliters Water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by washing the okra thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, as this will help the coating adhere better.
Trim the ends of the okra and cut them into thin slices, approximately 0.5 cm thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, amchur, and salt.
Add lemon juice to the dry ingredients, and gradually add water while mixing until a thick coating batter forms. The consistency should be such that it coats the back of a spoon.
Add the sliced okra to the batter and toss gently to ensure each piece is well-coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of batter in it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Carefully drop a few coated okra slices into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry them in batches if necessary.
Fry the okra for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried okra and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy okra fry hot as a snack or a side dish with your favorite dipping sauce.
