Air-Fried Lady's Fingers / Okra in Yoghurt
Ingredients:
5-8 lady’s finger, washed, dried and sliced thin
1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp yogurt / more
1 small onion, chopped
1 red chilli, chopped
1 small bunch coriander leaves, chopped
Freshly cracked black pepper
A tiny pinch of salt to salt the yogurt (optional because I’ve added salt to the lady’s finger before air frying them)
Lemon juice (optional)
Method:
1. In a bowl, add the sliced lady’s finger, then marinate with chilli flakes, turmeric powder, salt and coconut oil. Give it a good mix.
2. Air fry till desired consistency - I air fried mine for 10 minutes at 180C. Go ahead and air fry it longer if you’d like it crispier.
3. In a shallow dish, add the yogurt, air fried lady’s finger, onion, chilli, coriander and black pepper. Mix well. Add a squeeze of lemon juice if you like.
This is a perfect side dish for your curries.
