Crispy Baked Bhindi/Okra

A simple recipe from the Indian Kitchen but not traditional like Masala Bhindi is this Crispy Baked Okra. Okra aka Bhindi is a summer regular on the Indian kitchen table. Okra being a universal vegetable is turning favorite for everyone around the world.

Okra is also tricky at times when preparing. First, there is a trick to picking the Okra from your fresh market or store. Please try to pick tender or baby okra as it cooks and tastes better. The other tip is please wash the Okra and wipe it dry. This avoids the extra sticky residue while you cut the okra.

After making this awesome recipe, I enjoyed this as a topping over brown rice.
