A daily and easy snack that can be prepared are these or Rava Fried Ladyfingers. These are known as bhenyachyo fodi or bhendi fodi in Goa. These crispy fried ladyfingers turn yummy. I normally make these as an accompaniment with rice and vegetarian curries. I have always seen people eating kurkuri bhendi in fried in oil. The ladyfinger crispy fry recipe mentioned in today’s blog post is healthier as it does not require much oil. It is cooked by shallow frying and not by deep frying. The Goan cuisine is very vast as there are equally good vegetarian dishes as there are non vegetarian varieties.

Since my little princess loves ladyfingers, I try different recipes just for her. She just runs away with the fried bhendis as soon I serve them on the table. My darling hubby also loves these and even before plating they are cleared off from the frying pan itself. I normally serve them with rice.

The recipe to make these crispy bhendi is simple. First I sliced the ladyfingers length wise and then I applied the spices as mentioned in recipe below. Then they were coated with rava or semolina to which a bit of spices and salt is added. It is then shallow fried in a pan to make these delicious Goan style rava fried ladyfingers or rava fried bhendi.
I have used rice flour in this recipe. But it is optional. If you don’t have rice flour handy, you can coat the ladyfingers with semolina(rava)  too. The taste will not be altered by a great extent too.

Rava Fried Bhendi Recipe:

Ingredients:                                     Serves:4, Prep. Time:20 Minutes

For frying
15-20 medium sized ladyfingers
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Oil for frying

For the coating the ladyfingers
½ cup rava/semolina
¼ cup rice flour
½ teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Step 1:
Mix rava, rice flour, chili powder and salt and keep aside.

Step 2:
Cut the ladyfingers lengthwise into 2 pieces after chopping off the head/stem. If the ladyfingers are too big in length, cut them into halves first horizontally then cut vertically so that you get four pieces.
Apply chili powder, turmeric powder and salt to the ladyfingers and keep aside for 10-15 minutes. You can even apply a teaspoon of garam masala. This is optional and it adds extra taste to this delicious dish.

Step 3:
Coat the ladyfingers in rava.

Step 4:
Now take the frying pan, heat it and spread 1 tablespoon oil in it.Step 5:
Arrange the rava coated ladyfingers on the frying pan one by one.Step 6:
Spread 1-2 tablespoon oil on top of the rava coated ladyfingers. Fry by covering the frying pan.Step 7:
After 10 minutes, flip to the other side and fry for another 10 minutes.Step 8:
Check whether the ladyfingers are cooked. When they turn crispy, it is time to switch off the gas/heat.
