A daily and easy snack that can be prepared are these Rava fried bhendi's. They turn crispy and yumm. I normally make these as an accompaniment with rice and veg. curries. I have always seen people eating ladyfingers deep fried in batter and oil. The recipe mentioned in today's blog post is healthier as it does not require much oil. The Goan cuisine is very vast as there are equally good vegetarian dishes as there are non. veg varieties.
Since my little princess loves ladyfingers, I try different recipes just for her. She just runs away with the fried bhendis as soon I serve them on the table. My H Dear also loves these and even before serving them with rice these get over. I normally serve them with rice. Today I served them with Cremica's Tandoori Mayo.
Ingredients: Serves:4, Prep. Time:20 Min's
For frying
15-20 medium sized ladyfingers
1 tsp. chilli powder
1 tsp. turmeric powder
¼ tsp. salt
Oil for frying
For the coating the ladyfingers
½ cup rava/semolina
¼ cup rice flour
½ tsp. chili powder
¼ tsp. salt
Mix rava, rice flour, chilly powder and salt and keep aside.
Step 2:
Cut the ladyfingers horizontally into 2 pieces after chopping off the head/stem. If the ladyfingers are too big in length, cut them into 2 pieces first horizontally then cut vertically so that you get four pieces.
Apply chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt to the ladyfingers and keep aside for 10-15 mins. You can even apply garam masala. this is optional and it does add extra taste to this delicious dish.
Step 3:
Coat the ladyfingers in rava.
