Baked Bhindi Fry ( Okra Fry )

Ingredients
Ingredients For Baked Bhindi Fry Recipe
- 2 pound bhindi (okra)
- 1 tablespoon coriander powder

- 1 teaspoon dried mango powder (amchur), adjust to taste
- 2 teaspoon red chili powder, adjust to taste

Instructions
How To Make Baked Bhindi Fry
- You will need one 9*13 inches Baking Sheet
Step 1: Prep For Baked Bhindi Fry
- Wash the okra. Spread okra on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry to absorb any extra moisture.
- Discard the top part of the okra. Cut the okra vertically (lengthwise) in half, and then cut each half vertically into 2.
- Spread the cut okra onto the baking sheet.
- Add all the spices – coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, amchur powder, oil, and salt to taste.
- Gently, toss the bhindi to coat masala (spices) evenly, using your hands.
Step 2: Bake The Bhindi
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the baking sheet on the topmost shelf.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, and toss the okra halfway through.Note: Different oven temperature settings work differently. It took me around 25 minutes of cooking time.
- Depending upon how crunchy you like okra, you can add a few extra minutes of cooking time. I took them out after 25 minutes of baking.
- Dish out okra in a serving dish. Garnish with some fresh cilantro and some freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional). Serve baked okra fry with some Indian flatbread – roti, naan, paratha. I also like to serve some Tidali Dal on the side. Enjoy!
