Bhindi 65 | Bendakaya 65 | Okra 65 | Vendakkai 65 | How to make Bhindi 65 - Okra 65 is a Wedding Special in Andhra. But though it is called 65, it is not like the Madras style 65 recipe that is popular across the country. Though this recipe is different, I am not sure how that name came about. But, forget the name, this fry tastes terrific with Rasam, Sambar Style Rasam, Sambar and Dal as a crunchy accompaniment.

Let me tell you something! Make this fry and watch even those who gate Okra gobble up the whole fry all alone. It tastes good with hot Rice and Ghee.

Tips

Okra taste better if they are tender. And cut the Okra into long pieces of more than an inch so that they do not become too small when fried.

How to get crunchy Okra Fry?:

If the coating on Okra is a little thick, then it will not crumble when you put the pieces in Oil. Dilute, or thin layer coat breaks away from the Okra pieces as soon as you put them in Oil.

These two are optional for you to choose:

Grated Raw Coconut and Garlic are optional. Coconut adds to taste; Garlic adds fragrance. Those who do not like Garlic can drop it.
