I have already mentioned  about my love for deep fried goodies for my lunch side  😀   And during my school days I always carried ladies finger crisp fried alongside rice and a curry. Back then, Amma really had a trouble time making that mezhukkupurati just with salt and coconut oil and to make it crispiest as possible.

But at point I started craving for spicy ladies finger 😉 and the result is this fry! Amma made it with red chilli powder , turmeric powder and salt and fried like fish fry , that tasted quite different from this (I will have to post that too 😛 )

This recipe has too many other ingredients which I added according to my need and to get rid of that guilt bytes ,I started to shallow fry them also using a trick 😉 To know what it is do remember to check the quick video too 🙂 And yes, this look  similar to “kurkuri bindhi” a popular North Indian dish 🙂 but I assure you this taste entirely different from that.

Let’s get started, then…

  11. water                                                                                  : 1 tbsp or to combine everything

Method :

  1. wash and pat dry the ladies finger
  2. Cut them lengthwise keeping the end
  3. Combine together all the ingredients except the extra oil for frying into a thick paste.
  4. Set this aside or refrigerate for at least 1/2 hr
  5. Heat a pan for shallow frying, to which add the ladies fingers and cover and cook initially , after which open and let it fry for some more time.

Notes:

  1. You could masala as per your preferences.
  2. The rice flour mix has to bit thick, so keep adding water little by little.
  3. Remember to cover with a lid , so that the ladies finger cooks from within also consumes less oil
  4. If you dont have kerala Garam masala, use ány Chicken masala.
  5. Try to use Rice flour itself 🙂
