[...] Day 5 - Lunch was a simple homely meal with Nandita’s Lasuni Dal Palak , I have tried making so many variety of dal with greens, this is by far the best dal i have ever tasted. I usually love crispy pan fried potatoes or taro root for dals but wanted to try something new with okra. Shilpa’s Crispy Bhendi Fry was just perfect for it. [...]

May 22nd, 2007 at 6:55 amShould i fry bhindi first & then add masalas or should i marinate it with same masala
Divya, you can mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and then fry them.
May 22nd, 2007 at 7:49 amShould i deep fry the bhindi as besan was sticking & bhendi took time to cook, i don’t know where i made a mitake
May 22nd, 2007 at 10:19 amDivya, yes the besan does stick to the bhindi. You need to fry it for a long time and use more oil than normal. If you think you cannot get it at all, you can deep fry it. (I never deep fry this dish).

April 21st, 2008 at 12:14 pmHello,
This dish was a success! I’ve been trying to find a tasty blend of masala for my bhindi and this one is it! I also think that cutting the bhindi into long slices instead of the 1in chunks makes a world of difference. My boyfriend ate almost the whole pan and told me not to change a thing, this is a great compliment since he can be picky with his masalas
