Crispy Okra is a healthier adaptation of deep-fried kurkuri bhindi. Although lesser oil has been used in preparing okra chips, Okra slices turned out to be very crispy and absolutely lip-smacking. Okra slices have been baked in OTG.
You can prepare Crispy Okra in advance and heat it at OTG’s lowest temperature for 4-6 minutes at the time of serving.
Okra has many health benefits like its high fiber, vitamin C and folate content. It is also known for being high in antioxidants and a good source of calcium and potassium.
Crispy okra chips can be served as a side-dish to any Indian meal.
