Bendakaya Vepudu (Deep fry Okra or lady finger Vepudu)

Ingredients

Bendakaya 20-30 (Sliced into circular discs of ¼ inch thick)
Oil to deep fry
Dry coconut 1 ½ cup
Garlic 5-6 cloves
Coriander powder (dhania powder) ½ cup
Fresh coriander ¼ bunch (Roughly chopped)
Red chili powder 1 ½ (less or more to your taste)
Salt to taste

  1. Take coconut powder, coriander powder, fresh coriander, garlic, salt and red chili powder into a grinder and make a powder together. This mixture will be little wet because of raw garlic.
  2. Put 4-5 tsp of oil in a wide pan.
  3. Once the oil is hot enough, add grinded powder from step 1 and roast it on very low flame for 15-20 min or till it dries out.
  4. On the other hand, heat enough oil to deep fry in a deep frying pan.
  5. Once the oil reaches the frying temperature, fry the bendakaya slices till they are crunchy, crispy and golden brown.
  6. Finally add crispy bendakaya bites to the powder from step 3, mix it well and store in a air tight container.

I think we need to add just 3 or 4 tbsp of above masala powder to Okra's instead of the whole thing.
