Crispy Bhindi Fry | okra fry

Crispy Bhindi Fry makes a tasty accompaniment with any meal. It is loved by one and all.

Bhindi is the common name for ladies finger or okra. It is a versatile vegetable which can be turned into crispy fried savouries or as a stir fry. The stuffed okra is simply irresistible. The weather calls for fried food and I ended up frying it, Tasty Bhindi Fry is on the blog today. I like this recipe for it’s simplicity, no extra dressings or garnishing; but yet, it is tasty and loved by all.

It makes a good accompaniment  with hot steamed rice, a dollop of ghee elevates the taste. The best way is to eat it along with rice and sambar.
