Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh okra
- 100 grams Chickpea flour (besan)
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango powder)
- 1 teaspoon Crushed black pepper
- 500 milliliters Oil for frying
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
Wash the okra thoroughly, pat it dry with a kitchen towel, and cut off the stems. Slice the okra lengthwise into thin strips.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, cornstarch, chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, asafoetida, amchur, and crushed black pepper.
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms. The batter should be able to coat the back of a spoon.
Add the sliced okra to the mixing bowl with the batter, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Carefully add the battered okra in batches to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
Fry the okra for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the okra from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Continue frying the remaining batches of okra.
Serve the low sodium crispy okra fry immediately as a tasty appetizer or as a side dish with your meal.
