Rajastani Besan Bhindi

Actually I am going try to make a simplified version of this dish and it is really tasty. First you will need to make Garam Masala and set this aside. You will need 1 lb or 1 kg of fresh whole okra. Do not cut. All you have to do is just wash it and place it on paper towel to pat dry and set this aside. Take 1/4 cup of besan and add 1oz of water a little at a time until it becomes a thick lump free batter. Add the garam masala, 1 pinch each of turmeric, red chili powder, mix with spoon. Add 1 pinch each of cumin seeds, coriander seeds, 1 broken piece of amchur and grind in to a coarse powder. Add to besan mixture. Add 1 tsp of either lemon juice or lime juice, 1 pinch each of pink salt and turbindano sugar. Stir again once more after adding 1 small piece of ginger in mortar and pestle to grind then added to the besan mixture.

Add 1/4 cup of either vegetable, corn or canola oil to a wok and add the washed okra that was patted dry in batches by the handfuls and fry until they are slightly tender and remove to a paper towel lined pot and let cool. This time add the cooked whle bhindi to this thick besan batter and once more fry until crispy in batches of 6. Repeat until there is no more bhindi or besan batter. Bhindi is the Urdu word for okra and besan is chickpea flour. These and the spices used are available at every Indian and Pakistani grocery store. The okra can be bought everywhere. Enjoy with lassi and roti. Also Ideal to eat with chutney of choice.
