Ingredients

  • 500 g long Okra , Ladies fingers!
  • 2 tbsp Flour
  • Vegetable Oil , like corn oil
  • 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
  • tsp Black Salt

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.
