I tried this Kurkuri bhindi long back and had this post in drafts so thought of posting it now.I love bhindi / okra so much, so any recipe with bhindi is a winner for me.

I am sure kids will love it too, you can serve it as a snack or as a sidedish for rice.I usually make okra sambar or  bhindi stir fry or sometimes a semi masala version like aloo bhindi so this bhindi fry was an inviting change.
