Notes
Since the mixture is bit dry, it will not coat the bhindi completely (as in fritters). So while frying the coating on outer side will get removed during frying.
Try to press more mixture into the inner part. Coating will stick because of slimes. While turning be careful else all mixture will be removed from okra during the process of frying.
