Kurkuri Bhindi / Crispy Fried Okra Recipe

10.5 oz Okra (Bhindi)

Rice flour

Semolina (Sooji/Rava) (fine)

tbsp Nigella seeds (Kalonji)

tsp Fennel Seeds (Saunf)

(adjust

tsp Ground Turmeric (Haldi powder)

tsp Kashmiri red chili powder (adjust

Water

Oil (for deep-frying (1 tbsp for air fryer))

Lime wedges

Wash okra and then pat dry with a kitchen towel. Using a sharp knife, slice the okra lengthwise in half or quarters depending on their size.&nbsp;

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flour, semolina, nigella seeds, fennel seeds, salt, turmeric and chili powder. Whisk to combine and then pour in the water to make a thick batter.&nbsp;

Add the sliced okra to the batter and toss it around to coat all the slides. Set aside for 15 minutes.&nbsp;

When ready to deep-fry, place a heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Pour in the oil to a depth of about 1 inch. Have a plate layered with a kitchen towel ready.&nbsp;

Depending on how big your pan is, add the okra slices carefully, without overcrowding the pan. Tossing and turning, fry the okra for about 5 minutes or until golden brown in color. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and place on the kitchen towel. The okra tastes best when served immediately.&nbsp;

For Deep-frying:

Place half of the okra slices in the air fryer basket, spreading them out as much as possible (if you have a large air fryer, you could do all at once). Spray some oil on the spread okra slices.&nbsp;

Cook at 330˚F for 10 mins. Remove and shake the okra, then cook at 350˚F for about 2-5 mins until crispy.&nbsp;Serve immediately.&nbsp;

For Air Fryer:

Dredged in cornmeal and fried on the stovetop until golden brown, this crispy Fried Okra recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy fresh produce this season!

Fried Okra

lb. fresh okra

milk

cornmeal

flour

salt

pepper

Vegetable oil,

Cut the tips and stems off of the okra, and slice okra into ½-inch long pieces. Place cut okra in a large bowl.

Pour milk over okra and let stand for at least 10 minutes, but not more than 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper and Creole seasoning.

Drain milk from the bowl of okra. Place small batches of okra into the cornmeal mixture, tossing to coat.

Pour oil into a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven to about 1 inch deep. Heat oil over medium-high heat. Place breaded okra into the hot oil, working in small batches so that you don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry the okra until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove okra from the oil; place on paper towels to drain. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste, while the okra is still warm.
