    Air fried okra is all about southern comfort. It is crispy, cooks quick and tastes awesome. Learn to make this easy sides for any meal. Traditionally, this recipe is deep fried after dipping okra in cornmeal and egg batter. However, our take on the fried okra recipe is vegan and low in calories, thanks to air fryer.We make a simple okra curry in the airfyer without the cornmeal as well, read the recipe for air fryer okra curry here.

    Okra is such a wonderful veggie. You can plant it easily in your garden and it is quite satisfying to see it grow. I love its flowers they are beautiful shade of yellow. Happy veggie I can say! You can make so many recipes out of it. Fry it, cook it with just onions or potatoes or both. Add to stews like sambar and Sindhi kadhi or make a delicious seyal bhindi patata where onions, potatoes and okra are cooked in a gravy like Indian tava sabzi.
