Bhindi Kurkure



Bhindi kurkure is a crispy raita item prepared using ladies fingers and curds/yogurt. This is eaten as a side dish in meals and luncheons. Today's recipe has been contributed by Prarthana, who is a very enthusiastic and dedicated girl. Thanks dear! Prarthana picked up this recipe through google search. 

How to make:

1/2 kg Okra (bhindi) washed, dried and cut thinly lengthwise.
1 tsp concentrated lemon  juice/ vinegar,
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp pepper powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp chat masala
1/4 tsp garam masala,
1/3 cup bengal gram flour to sprinkle

 Mix all of the above and deep fry in cooking oil of your choice.

 Then,  Dip these kurkures in 1/2 kg of thick curds, like how we make boondi raita. Instead of boondi, use bhindi kurkure. Then, add salt and 1-2 tsp sugar( depending on taste and requirement). Serve fresh, for, otherwise, the kurkures lose their crispiness.
