Kurkuri Bhindi

Kurkuri Bhindi



I love eating boiled bhindi!! For non- Bengalis this might sound strange. However in Bengali cuisine “sheddo” or boiled vegetables is an integral part of the daily food. We eat boiled radish, pumpkin, krela, bhindi, lauki, raw banana, and the list is endless. My favorite is, however, boiled bhindi!!

This post is not about boiled bhindi. It is at the opposite end of the spectrum.

Kurkuri bhindi. Deep fried as opposed to boiled. Crispy as opposed to slimy. What is common, however, is that both taste yummy!!

Ingredients

250 gms bhindi, slit into very fine strips
½ cup cornflour
4 tbsp besan
Salt to taste
1 tsp red chilli powder(optional)



Mix the slit bhindi, cornflour, besan, salt and red chilli powder. Keep aside for half an hour. Deep fry. Your kurkuri bhindi is ready.
