Crispy chilli garlic okra recipe - A restaurant style Indo Chinese starter which you can prepare at home following these steps.

Okra is our family favorite. Both son and dad likes it. Especially when it is fried. I usually fry in south Indian style ladies finger fries (vendakkai varuval).

But tried this based on another recipe that Vj saw in a video and we tried, it turned out awesome.

I have made it twice already and loving it. Very simple ingredients and method too not very complicated, but the result is an excellent tasting dish.

Ingredients

• Choose okra that are tender and young.
• Use lots of garlic for best flavor. To chop garlic finely, choose large variety garlic that has big and stout cloves.
• Shallots gives strong pungent flavor that gives a distinct flavor for the recipe.
• You can use bird's eye chilli in place of green chilli if you want the spice level to be super hot.

Top tip

For best crispy results, cook in medium flame or low flame, extending the frying time towards the end.

To make this recipe gluten free, you can try substituting all purpose flour with rice flour or gram flour.

Notes

• Slice okra diagonally for easy frying.
• While deep frying, the okra should be dropped in oil individually. Though it will stick in oil, as it gets cooked, will easily separate.
• Batter should not be thick, should be slightly runny.
• Coating the okra in flour before dipping in batter helps the batter stick to the okra.
• Onion can be skipped.
