on Oct 23, 2019, Updated Jan 12, 2023 There are over 350 recipes on this website and truly, this is one my favourites. When I think of kurkuri bhindi, I’m thinking every sliver of bhindi has to be crisp and crunchy. There is no room for sogginess. And there has to be enough masala in every bite. There should be a thin coating so that you can still taste the bhindi. Thats a lot of conditions. And this baked kurkuri bhindi ticks of all those boxes! I’m sure there are going to be a lot of skeptics here. Because how do you achieve that crispness without deep frying? Will the oven really do this? OMG totally yes! You can totally get the crunch on kurkuri bhindi without frying and its super legit. This is a really simple, ten ingredient recipe. Here’s how to achieve the best kurkuri bhindi in the oven:
Slice the bhindi lengthwise and make those slices thin. The thinner the slices the faster they’ll crisp up and remain crispYou’ll need besan (chickpea flour) and cornflour for the coating. Together these two form a coating that not too thick, and once baked, stays crisp for a whileStay patient. Unlike fried bhindi, this takes approx 35 minutes in the oven. But the result is absolutely amazing! And this stores well for an hour or so, so you can make this ahead.
Seriously, doesn’t that call your name? Make some Soft Rotis to go with this easy lunch! If you’ve always been scared of bhindi/okra and its sliminess, check out this tutorial about how to cook okra so that it’s not slimy.
