Recipe for Bhindi Fry


As I had mentioned before, TH and I are not huge fans of Okra (Vendakka/ladies finger. But I feel guilty if I leave out any vegetable completely (except for Pavakka/Karela!) so I bought it the other day just to try and make something different. This is a spontaneous recipe that happened just like that and it came out really well, so much so that TH didn’t even realise it was Okra 🙂 And its really simple too, using minimum ingredients.

    Hiya.. I tried this out over the weekend and we liked it. Was a change from my usual bhindi fry. Only change is next time i’ll MW the bhindi slices before tossing them into the batter. Thanks for a tasty, easy recipe.
