Okra(Bendakai) Cryspy Fry

Cut each okra into two halves first and then four lengthwise shreds.

Add gram flour, corn flour, red chilly powder, ginger-garlic paste, chat masala and salt to the okra shreds. Mix well adding very little water.

Heat the oil in a deep bottomed frying pan and slowly drop the dough covered okra pieces one by one (like pakodas) and deep fry until they turn deep brown.

Remove the fried okras into a plate.

To the same oil add the green chillies(slightly split lengthwise) and the curry leaves and fry until crisp. Add this to the okra fry.

This kind of okra fry serves better as a snack item than curry. Awesome for munching.
