Kurkuri Bhindi / Vegan Fried Okra (Air Fried)

Step 1

Wash and towel-dry the okra completely before you use them.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, toss in the okra and all the above ingredients and mix well coating the okra with the flour and spices.

Step 4

Preheat the airfrier at 360 degrees F. Place the okra in the air frier mesh evenly without over crowding and cook for about 10 minutes. You can flip the okras after about 5 minutes so they can evenly cook.

Step 5

Based on your air frier you could get different results but typically air fried okra should be ready in 10 minutes. if you like it even more crispy, you could slide the basket in for a minute or two more but keep a close eye after 10 minutes.
