Fried ladies finger/bhindi/okra

This dish was introduced to me through my cousin.She has two teenage sons who are ardent lovers of crispy foods(I know most of us fall into that category ;)) So she hunts and tries out new recipes to satisfy them.Kids   usually hate veggies and to make them eat it, is so TOUGH! I know many of you would agree on that point.This fried ladies finger is something you mothers out there ought to cook for your kids for two main reasons.Number one its a yummy dish and number two its a vegetable,I mean kids eating a veggie that's a great achievement!


Ingredients:

1/4 kg ladies finger
2 tsp cornflour
11/2 tbs gram flour(besan flour)
chili powder as desired
salt to taste
2 tsp lemon juice
oil for frying.

Method:

1.Wash the okras and cut them diagonally.
2.In a vessel mix all ingredients except the ladies finger and oil and make a paste.
3.To this,add the ladies finger and mix them till the paste is evenly spread.
4.Deep fry in oil till they turn into golden brown.
note: Deep fry the okras in small batches otherwise they tend to stick together while frying. 
5.Crispy okras are ready to serve.
