  1. I tried this..A Gujarati recipe which I have had in thalis in Mumbai.Very quick and easy dish.Both the adults and kids loved it.Thanks5 stars

  2. I have been following your recipes since the time I started cooking. Love coming back to your site for detailed and easy recipes. As usual, five stars to kurkuri bhindi ????????5 stars

    1. thank you richa for this lovely feedback and rating on kurkuri bhindi. by the way, i also made kurkuri bhindi for lunch today, but baked them instead of frying.

  3. I tried this recipe but had to throw away the whole thing..the besan got all stuck to kadhai bottom..and bhindi was not crispy..wat could have gone wrong?

    1. sorry to hear that. the issue here is not the recipe or the bhindi. it is the pan that is the culprit. when making recipes where besan or any flour is involved it is always good to use pans which we use for deep frying. also if a pan is not heavy or gets heated up quickly, the besan will get stuck to the pan. that is also the reason for the bhindi not becoming crispy. hope this helps.

  4. I visit india .tasty food
    When i saw this i felt a need to come back to india, i was in bombay and banglore
    Thanks a lot

  5. Tried this recipe..my son loved it 🙂 asking me to prepare it again..which is a good thing….considering that he is not too fond of veggies5 stars

  6. I enjoyed the Kurkuri Bhindi recipe. Thanks… It turned out good… I like how you described the procedure so perfectly rather than just putting down the recipe plainly. It made cooking simpler and I was confident that it will turn out well. I’m happy with the outcome. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT.5 stars

  7. After I tried making this for the 1st time, my husband liked it so much that now he refuses to eat any other type of bhindi preparation…thanks a ton 🙂5 stars

  9. Dassanna,
    This is an awesome recipe. Now I have a very “health” related question. I so hope you can help. My kids’ pediatrician told me the bhendi is high in fibre and must feed the kids regularly. I haven’t been very successful in doing that 🙁 Now my question is if bhendi made like this will have nutritional value of bhendi prepared in any other style. What I mean to ask is actually if I give this to my kids can I confidently tell my ped that I gave them bhendi 🙂 I really hope you would help me with an answer.

    1. the fibre quotient does get reduced depending on the way you cook the veggies. its better to steam or saute them or cook them till they are tender. avoid over cooking. frying will reduce some of the fiber content in okra. instead of frying i would suggest you to bake these. just spray or brush the bhindi with oil and bake them in a tray at 180 degrees celsius, till they are crisp and cooked well. you can give them more fruits and include green peas in their diet. green peas is a very good source of fiber. also artichokes, if you can get them.

  10. Just learning your many recipes… Enjoying cooking with your easy recipes. Suggesting this site to everyone with my office staff and also with my relatives.. Loved it..4 stars

  11. Made it for my hubby yesterday…. he just loved it… I love all ur recipes.. simple n yummy!!!5 stars

  12. The first time I tried in a restaurant,and I loved them and wanted to try them. When I found the recipe I tried and served to my friends, who were very impressed. Very easy recipe to follow and your photographs helped. Also I tried your Punjabi garm masala, which was excellect.5 stars

  13. I hate bhindi.. In d mushy form only sauteed or fried bhindi is my cup of tea..found ur recipe tried it tasted absolutely yum with curd rice n plain as well.I marinade it for close to two hours.so d bhindi got cooked like in 4-5 mins.These were tender is guess thts why also they might have cooked fast .Thank You n ur mum for this recipe.5 stars

    1. thanks shalini for the feedback. these crisp bhindi taste very good with curd rice as well as dal rice. they took less time to cook due to these being marinated for 2 hours. welcome from both me and my mom.

  14. I associate fried okra with my childhood, as does my mom.. so when I came across this recipe, I knew I had to make it. It was fantastic. She and I both really enjoyed it. 🙂 I loved the spices and how besan is used here. I’d also like to add, I appreciate how in your posts, you consider the mess-factor… It makes your recipes that much more realistic and comforting. Shallow frying worked perfectly for this recipe. Thank you for another wonderful recipe !!!5 stars

    1. firstly alli, thanks for all your comments. was a pleasure to read them. made me nostalgic too. since i too have similar experiences like you. whenever possible, i try to give the realistic bits, but sometimes i forget adding them. thanks for trying and sharing your experience.

  15. Dear Dassana, your recipies are really great. My kids loved them, specially the bhindi ones.
    Can I get some cake recipes too along with their icings.
    Would recommend the site to all my friends, I m sure they would love it too.

  16. Can the kurkuri bhindis be fried the previous day if there is a party next evening?
    If it’s kept in air tight containers?

    1. they won’t stay crisp for so long. so better to fry them before serving. another low fat alternative is too just add a bit of oil in the marination and bake them.

  17. I had this recipe once in a private home and have been craving it ever since. However, I have no sources near me for the Indian spice in the recipe. Suggestions on how to get them, please?

  18. Bhindi is by far one of my favourite veggies. I’m continously looking for new ways to prepare it and lo and behold,I came across this simply defined reciepe. I’ve made this as a side dish to Currie Kitchri and it was very,very tasty. Thanks for sharing 🙂 x4 stars

  19. I made this Bhindi recipe and it came out very good. The kids loved it and the bhindis very gone in few mins. Thanks a lot.

  20. I tried this recipe and it came out great. Just the recipe I was looking for as bhindi is one of my fav veggies. Thanks for sharing and detailing all the steps carefully. Girish

  21. Receipe seems interesting and easy.i m going to make it today for my son,.he got bored from routine bhindi subzi

  22. We had recently purchased a Microwave with Grill, Convention..How can we make use to make cakes, Pasteries, Pizza’s Burgurs..etc, foods that my kid loves most..

    1. for making cakes, pastries, pizza or burger or for any food that is baked, you have to use the convection mode in the microwave oven. follow the instructions given in the manufacturer’s guide on how to use the convection and grill mode in the microwave. the temperature setting will be given and you can adjust this as per the recipe. some personnel from the company will also come to give a demo on using the oven in various modes.

  23. I have taken kurkury bhindi in a party and like it and searched for a recipy . Apparently the picture is just like I have taken. Now its time to try it. Thanks for good recipy.

  24. Hi ,

    I was tired of searching for a proper recipe which is described in simple words and more pictures..and here you are 🙂

    Thank you so much for this recipe.. This is a Fabulous website ..Am gonna recommend your website to all my friends
    Keep up the good work 🙂

  25. This looks really tasty! My mum has asked me to ‘do her some crispy okra’, so I’m going to try this tonight! Looks really simple and easy to follow, thank you! 🙂

  26. In fact I love Bhendi. In ayurveda it is supposed to increase the memory and brain power. We used to cut them into small round rings and fry them in kadai with salt and red chili powder. This is known as Bhendi Fry. But your method seems to be more tasty and mouth watering. We will switch to this method. Thank you.

  27. very nice presentation of the recipe , makes it very easy n tasty to cook with the help of pictures. good work .

      1. Hi dassana I have microwave & not oven can I bake in microwave if yes then please suggest the time & method

        1. Hi Kiran, if your microwave has convection mode, then only you can use it to bake the kurkuri bhindi. Preheat the oven on convection mode for 10 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Line the bhindi on a baking tray. Brush some oil on them.

          Bake using the convection mode option, at the same temperature of 180 degrees Celsius for 15 to 20 minutes or until they looks crispy and golden.

  28. I just made this dish and it looks awesome. Thank you very much for the recipe. I hope my wife likes it.
