Your snack (Fried Lotus Roots), or an accompanied for your rice meal (Chilli Aloo & Tapioca Stir Fry).

100ml coconut milk
1 1/2 tsp turmeric/kunyit
Water as needed
Salt to taste

  2. Oh, wow! The crispy batter on your okra looks amazing! I can see why people were wanting to eat this right out of the pan :)

    Thanks for your sweet words of condolence. We had a good time celebrating my aunt's life.

  3. I have used corn flour for batter before, but it sure did not turn out like yours. Perhaps it is the coconut milk?! Anyhow these do look extra crispy and tasty, I am going to keep your flavorful batter recipe so I can enjoy. Well done!

  9. My husband & I love fried okra but my daughters don't, so I seldom make it. I'll try it using your recipe...the addition of coconut milk in the batter might make them reconsider. :)
