Bhindi Jaipuri (Crispy Fried Okra)

I just love bhindi.I had my eyes on this fry since I got married.Had to wait for six long years to make this and eat. Once my husband had I  been to a wedding and there he happened to have this dish. He had all praise for it and wished to have it at home. Then my mission was to try my hands on this north Indian delicacy. It was an instant hit . This is a very good starter and also a prominent side dish to accompany with rotis or rice.


 Ingredients:
  
  • Bhindi (Okra)-300gm
  • Amchoor(dry mango) powder-1tsp
  • Red chilli powder-1tsp
  • Cumin powder-1/2tsp
  • Besan(gram flour)-3/4 cup
  • Corn flour-1/4cup
  • Broken cashewnuts-2tbsp(optional)
  • Finely chopped onions-2tbsp
  • Oil-to deep fry
  • Vinegar-1tsp
  • Salt-to taste
  • Red food colour-a pinch(optional)


Wash the bhindi and pat dry them
Cut off both the ends and slit them length wise or cut them diagonally.
Add all ingredients and mix and sprinkle few drops of water if the flour is not sticking to the bhindi.
Deep fry till golden brown on medium heat.
Serve as appetizer or as an accompaniment.
