Bindi Masala(fried okra )

This is one of our favorite vegetable,not until recent times I learnt how to make it crunchy and not sticky. Okra has a sticky gooey nature and it tends to make the experience of eating it not very exicting. My mom taught me the right way and ever since then I started making Okra very often.
