For the batter:

  1. Place the flour and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

For frying:

  1. Heat a pan and pour in sunflower oil and let it heat up well.
  2. Take a few okra at a time, shake off excess batter, place them in the pan, and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until they become crispy and golden.
  3. As soon as the okra turns golden brown, place them on an absorbent paper to drain and serve with the spearmint yogurt dip or tzatziki.

Notes

  • We can use both fresh and frozen okra. It is better to have them cut into small pieces, so that they are crispier.
