Crispy Fried Okra.

Okra has been used in different ways in Indian cusine. I wanted to try frying  this wonderful vegetable! It is crispy and crunchy and can easily be substitute for Papad or Chips which are used during meals (bit more healthy).





Ingredients:
Okra- 10-12 nos.
Bread crumbs: 1 cup.
Chilli powder- 1 teaspoon.
Maida flour- 2-3 tb spoon.
Salt.
Frying oil.

Method:
For this recipe use fresh okra which are tender. Clean the okra and air dry them or wipe with a kitchen towel if using immediately to remove any moisture.
Cut the okra into 1-2 inch pieces and keep aside.
In a bowl mix maida  with water to make a thin paste.
I prepared bread crumbs using left over bread that was at home.( crumble them in a food processor/ mixer).
To the crumbs add salt and chilli powder.
Heat the oil in a frying pan, and start working.
First add the cut okra pieces into the maida flour paste and then dip them into the bread crumb mixture. Coat the okra completely with crumbs.
Fry the okra till golden brown on a medium heat. Repeat the process till all the okra is fried.
They are crisp outside and soft inside and can be enjoyed just as a snack or as part of a meal.
