Kurkuri bhendi or crispy fried okra is my favorite side dish. A vegetarian dish that loved by many as sides for their vegetable meals. It goes really well with dhal and rice. Some make the batter solely with besan flour but, I like to combine few tablespoon of rice flour for extra crunch. I'm sure you can see from the serving itself how crispy and crunchy the fried okra. The most important part in preparing this delicious okra is by removing the moistness. Pat dry with kitchen towel to avoid the okra from getting mushy while frying. My karak muruk crunchy okra is super yummy you can have it on its own for snacking.
