Kurkuri Bhindi AIR FRIED
Crispy aromatic, very mildly spiced, these Air Fried Kurkuri Bhindi are highly addictive and goes great as a snack or side dish. These Kurkuri Bhindi are gluten-free and vegan.
Ingredients
- 10 oz okras
- ½ cup rice flour
- 2 tablespoons semolina
- 1 teaspoon nigella seeds
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons oil
Instructions
- Make sure you clean and pat dry the okra. I wash the okras previous night.
- Slit the okra is half or quarter based on the size of the okra.
- In a mixing bowl or plate, add the rice flour, semolina, nigella seeds, fennel seeds, turmeric, chili powder, salt and sugar.
- Add 2 tablespoons oil and add water little by little to make a thick batter to coat the okras. I used little less than ½ cup water.
- Then mix it around with the sliced okra and leave aside for 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the Air Fryer to 400 F
- Once it's ready, brush a little oil on the crisper tray/plate and layer the okras. Air fry for 8 minutes and toss the okras to turn it around and bake Air fry for 8 more minutes.
- Enjoy the kurkuri bhindi right away with your choice of dip or sides.
Notes
Few Serving Suggestions
I love these kurkuri bhindi with rice and dal, typical Bengali style. These are amazing with chill beer. Kids, who don't like okra, will definitely enjoy this crispy version. Makes a great healthy snack with some ketchup on the side. Add in your rice/quinoa/couscous dinner bowl for tasty veggie addition.Reheating Kurkuri Bhindi
DO NOT microwave heat. It will turn soggy. The best way to reheat left over crispy okra is by placing it back in the oven or air frier and 400F for about 3 minutes.Nutrition
