Cooking a Spicy Tale

Saturday, February 25, 2006 Finger Chips

Now this was a dish we made in our final year cook out in a restaurant in C'not we rented for the afternoon :) Learnt it from Princess Dee's mom while I was in bangalore.

Lady's Fingers (Okra)
Besan flour
Salt
Asafoetida
Chilli powder
Chat Masala
Oil

Wipe Okra clean with a wet tissue paper( I hate washing it as it makes them soggy) Then cut them into thin strips, lengthwise. Remove the seeds.
Mix besan flour, salt, asafoetida and chilli powder and make a thin batter. Not as thick as you require to make bajji.
Heat oil (enough for shallow fry), dip the strips in the batter and fry them. Make sure the batter forms just a thin film on the okra strips and doesn't cover it completely.
Sprinkle chat masala over it and voila! Your snacks are ready!
