Kurkuri Bhindi Recipe

What Is Kurkuri Bhindi?

Kurkuri means crispy in Hindi. So kurkuri bhindi just translates to crispy okra. The crispiness comes from gram flour or chickpea flour.

We love this bhindi fry as snack with tea. While serving as snack you can serve with some lemon wedges. This crispy okra fry also goes well as side dish with dal and rice. You can also wrap this bhindi fry in roti just like besan bhindi.

For making the recipe of kurkuri bhindi select fresh and tender okra. Wash and pat dry the okras. Slice okra lengthwise. Mix all the other ingredients and gently toss the okra. Next you can deep fry or shallow fry the okras.

Few more options would be to bake them or microwave them.

How To Make Kurkuri Bhindi in Oven?

Prepare the bhindi-flour mixture as mentioned in the recipe. Arrange them in a single layer in a large greased baking tray. Also give a quick spray of oil over the arranged okras. Now bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 180C. Remove, flip the okras and bake for 5 more minutes. They should be crisp and golden.

Kurukuri Bhindi In Air Fryer

You can make this crispy bhindi fry in air fryer with a fraction of oil. I have tried the same with good results. To make this crispy bhindi in air-fryer, first of all preheat your air fryer at 170C for 5 minutes.

Grease the air fryer basket with few drops of oil. Arrange the bhindi mixture and air fry for 10 minutes. Gently toss the bhindi and air fry for 5 more minutes. When the okras look crispy and golden, remove and serve.

How To Make Bhindi Kurkuri in Microwave.

I got this tip from my friend who tried to microwave this bhindi fry. So I am adding it here if you want try it out.

Prepare the bhindi flour mixture as in the recipe. Take it in a microwave safe bowl or plate. Give a quick spray of oil. Microwave for 7 minutes in high. Remove, mix and microwave for 2 more minutes if needed.

Tips For Making Best Bhindi Kurkuri Recipe:

  1. Make sure to slice the okra as thinly as possible. Also removing the inner pith and seeds reduces the slime and makes the okra more crispy.
  2. The oil should be hot for frying okra. If the oil is not hot the bhindi will turn soggy by absorbing more oil.
  3. Do not add much water while preparing the bhindi mixture. Just mix them well and set aside for 5 minutes. before frying.
