Fried Okra Sticks
Servings: 8 People
Ingredients
- 500 g long Okra , Ladies fingers!
- 2 tbsp Flour
- Vegetable Oil , like corn oil
- 1½ tsp Coriander , ground powder
- ½ tsp Turmeric , ground powder
- ½ tsp Cayenne , ground powder
- ½ tsp Cumin , ground powder
- ½ tsp Garam Masala , ground powder
- 20ml Lemon juice
- 3 tbsp White Wine Vinegar

Instructions
- Start by washing and drying the Okra, then place in a flat dish, spread them not to be stacked on each other and drizzle on top with 2 tbsp of the vinegar. Place in the sun for an hour.
- Cut ¾ of the ends of each Okra, then in half lengthwise and then julienned.
- Mix the flour with all the seasonings, except the salt, and add to a flat dish. Add the okra and toss well to combine.
- Set a deep fryer or a medium to large frying pot over high heat, if you have a thermometer try to reach 190°C.
- Fry them in batches until nicely browned and crispy. Remove the fried okra either with the fryer’s basket or with a metal slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper towels (just leave them in the fryers basket if using one.)
- Place in a large bowl, sprinkle the okra sticks with the black salt, pour all over the lemon juice and divide to individual small bowls.
