Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh okra
- 100 grams Chickpea flour (besan)
- 50 grams Rice flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango powder)
- 1 teaspoon Crushed black pepper
- 500 milliliters Oil for frying
- 100 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra thoroughly, pat it dry with a kitchen towel, and cut off the stems. Slice the okra lengthwise into thin strips.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, cornstarch, chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, asafoetida, amchur, and crushed black pepper.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms. The batter should be able to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Add the sliced okra to the mixing bowl with the batter, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Step 5
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Step 6
Carefully add the battered okra in batches to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Fry the okra for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the okra from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Continue frying the remaining batches of okra.
Step 9
Serve the low sodium crispy okra fry immediately as a tasty appetizer or as a side dish with your meal.
