Oven Baked Bhindi / Okra Fry

It is a fat free dish. Takes very less oil and you do not need to stir the fry for every 4 to 5 minutes and you do not need to worry about burning. I love bhindi fry. Everytime I make bhindi fry, it would either burns or turn gooey. Once I tried baking it in the oven. It turned very yummy. From then, I am making this fry in the oven only.

Trust me, it is very easy, tasty and not at all messy. Just cut the okra into bite size pieces, toss with spices and then bake.


Ingredients :

1 lb Okra / Ladyfinger / Bhindi
1 tbsp Olive oil / any vegetable oil
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp curry leaf powder / garam masala powder
salt to taste
1 tsp lemon juice

                                                   Okra pieces with all the spices

  • Wash okra thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.And then cut okra into 1 inch pieces.
  • Mix all the above ingredients except lemon juice in a bowl, toss them well and keep it aside for 10 mins.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F(230 C)
  • Spread them in a oven pan and bake them for approximately 30 minutes.

                                                       Before                            After

  •   Take out from the oven and add lemon juice.



Note : You can also add seasoning with mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves and peanuts.
You can also add dry coconut powder to this fry for a variation.
