Kurkuri Bhindi or Okra Fries

Kurkuri Bhindi or Okra Fries

Kurkuri Bhindi or okra fries, is a popular Indian snack that perfect with teatime munching. Kurkuri means crispy and bhindi means okra, hence it’s called kurkuri bhindi. It is easy to make snack which is gluten free and vegan too. Just slice okras thinly, coat with chickpeas flour and flavorful spices, then deep fry into the hot oil till crispy golden brown to make it. It is an ultimate vegetarian snaking dish.

Kurkuri Bhindi or Okra Fries

Okra is in a full swing season and our garden veggies patch is over producing it. Normally, I make stir fired bhindi, but tired of eating now and kids also saying to make something else. So, I decided to try making Kurkuri Bhindi and it was delicious. Kids also really loved it.

Kurkuri Bhindi or Okra Fries

Okra or Bhindi : Okra is a fruit, though it is eaten as a vegetable. The light green seed pods are cooked whole or sliced, so preparation is extremely easy, and it can be cooked in so many ways. However, choosing the right cooking method, such as frying, grilling, sautéing, and pan-roasting, can reduce or prevent it from becoming slimy.
Okra has a mild, almost grassy flavor that is uniquely okra. While it’s sometimes compared to the taste of eggplant or green beans, its texture gets more attention. Okra is crunchy when cooked quickly but becomes almost mouthwateringly tender when slow-cooked.
