Ingredients:
- 500g Okra/Bhindi (washed, dried, slit into two)
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 2 pods of garlic
- 1/2 inch ginger
- 2 green chillies
- Coriander leaves for garnish

Method:
- Take the slit Bhindi in a bowl and sprinkle Cee Pee Red chilli powder, Cee Pee Dhania powder, Cee Pee Haldi powder, Cee Pee Dhania Powder, Cee Pee Jeera Powder, and Besan. Mix nicely with light hands. Be careful not to rub the Bhindi too much as the seeds may come out.
- Heat oil in a deep-frying pan and fry the Bhindi in small batches until it becomes golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the Bhindi from the oil and keep it on a parchment paper to get rid of excess oil.
- In the same oil, fry the sliced onions with garlic and ginger, keeping the crunch. Take it out after 2 to 3 minutes.
- In a bowl, add the fried Bhindi along with the onions and ginger-garlic mixture. Sprinkle Cee Pee Amchur powder and salt, toss it lightly like a salad, and serve with coriander leaves as a garnish.
