Ladies Finger Fry (Ventaikai) - Poornima

Buy the fresh ladies finger – ½ kg.
Besan powder( Kadalai maavu) – 2 tablespoon
Rice flour (arisi maavu) – 1 tablespoon. *
Chilli powder – 2-3 teaspoons (preferably Kashmiri chilli powder)
Salt – 2 teaspoons (as required)
Tamarind paste – 1 teaspoon.

1.1 Soak the tamarind in the hot water and prepare a thick paste.
1.2 Cut the ladies finger in 1 inch long sized pieces.
1.3 Mix the besan, rice flour, chilli powder, salt, tamarind paste in a wide mouthed bowl. Make this as thick paste. Do not add water.
1.4 Marinate(mix) the ladies finger with the paste so that the paste is spread evenly on the ladies finger.
1.5 In a Kadai, heat the oil. Take the oil for Shallow fry and NOT deep fry. Put the Marinated ladies finger in the oil and allow it to fry for 15-20 mintues. Keep stirring in between so that it does not turn black. Make sure that the ladies finger is cooked and crispy. Usually it would be in golden brown colour.
1.6 Garnish with Coriander leaves.



TIP : For any fried items, the amount of rice flour should be always less than the besan flour.
