What Ingredients do we need to make Kurkuri Bhindi?
Kurkuri bhindi, as the name suggests, has okra or bhindi as its star ingredient. Other than that, we will need a few spices, such as turmeric powder, salt, red chili powder, pomegranate seeds powder, coriander powder, rice flour, lemon juice, and one teaspoon of oil.
How to Make Kurkuri Bhindi?
Wash okra/bhindi with running tap water. Dry it with a towel/paper towel. Cut both the ends of the okra and make thin, long slices out of it. Take a bowl and place all the okra in it.
Add turmeric powder, salt, rice flour, red chili powder, pomegranate seeds powder, coriander powder, and a little bit of oil to it. Mix it well so that the okra is coated with the spice mix.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 °F for 1-2 minutes. Air fry spice mix-coated okra at 400 °F for 5-6 minutes, turning them in between to ensure they do not burn.
Make sure you place the okra in one layer; otherwise, it won't be very crispy. Depending on the quantity of okra, do it in one or two batches. Sprinkle some lemon juice before serving, and enjoy your air-fried Kurkuri Bhindi.
What to Serve with Kurkuri Bhindi?
I like eating them with white rice and Dal Palak/Lentil Soup with spinach.
Believe me, the combination of rice, dal, and Kurkuri bhindi is just killer. With each bite, you will feel the crunch and taste that complements the creamy texture of lentils.
You can serve them as an appetizer or a snack, with a chutney or a dip.
I like to serve them with green mint cilantro chutney. It just tastes excellent with anything and everything.
