- 2 tablespoons rice flour
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder)
- Salt to taste
- Oil for deep frying
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
- Chaat masala (optional, for extra flavor)

#### Instructions:

1. **Preparation:**
- Wash the bhindi thoroughly and let them dry completely. Ensure there is no moisture as it can make the bhindi soggy.
- Trim the ends of the bhindi and slice them lengthwise into thin strips.

2. **Mixing the Dry Ingredients:**
- In a mixing bowl, combine besan, rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, amchur, and salt. Mix well to form a dry mixture.

3. **Coating the Bhindi:**
- Add the sliced bhindi to the dry mixture, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Press the besan mixture onto the bhindi to adhere well.

4. **Frying the Bhindi:**
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the coated bhindi strips into the oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry until the bhindi turns golden brown and crispy. It may take about 4-5 minutes per batch.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy bhindi from the oil and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.

5. **Garnishing:**
- Transfer the kurkuri bhindi to a serving plate.
- Sprinkle chaat masala (if using) and chopped fresh coriander leaves on top for added flavor.

6. **Serving:**
- Serve Kurkuri Bhindi immediately as a crunchy and tasty snack or as a side dish with roti or rice.
