- Serves: 2
- Yield: About 80 fries
Ingredients
- 20 long lady's finger (Okra)
- 4 tbsp. chickpea flour (besan)
- 2 tbsp. rice flour
- 1 tsp. red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
- a pinch of cumin powder
- a pinch of baking soda
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tsp. oil + oil spray
- a few teaspoons of Water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. Line a medium baking tray with foil.
- Wash and pat dry the lady's finger. Slice the lady's finger lengthwise into quarters. Make sure the knife and chopping board are clean and dry.
- Toss in all the flour, spices, salt and oil
- Add just enough water to moisten the flours to stick to the okra. About a teaspoon at a time. Too much water will ruin the fries, so use sparingly.
- Transfer to the baking tray, lining them up in rows, making sure they don't touch each other.
- Bake at 450°F/230°C for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye after 15 minutes and ensure they don't burn. The thin parts around the tail start to burn first.
- Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving immediately.
