Kurkuri Bhindi is a simple and crispy side dish that can be made very quickly. It is made by slicing bhindi into thin long strips, then mixing it along with besan and all spice powders, after that it is deep fried till it turns crispy.

Notes
- Wipe bhindi well – I always wipe bhindi with dry cloth after washing. If little water stays, then it turns sticky while cutting and also while frying, and it will not turn crisp.
- Cut thin strips – I usually cut bhindi into thin long strips, it fries quicker and turns more crunchy. Thick pieces don’t fry well and remain soft inside.
- Don’t add more water – Just sprinkle very few drops of water while mixing bhindi with besan and spices. If water is more, coating turns soggy and bhindi won’t fry properly.
- Oil – I have used hot oil for frying. If the oil is not hot, bhindis will soak oil and taste greasy instead of crisp.
- Frying – I usually them in small batches. If you add too much at once, they sticks together and doesn’t fry evenly. Small batches fry faster and stay crunchy for long.
