Hello Niche,

My father-in-law is wonderful cook and he had made Bhindi manchurian when he visited us last year. The dish you tasted could possibly be a variation of the same thing (based on the taste and the color you mentioned).

I was watching my f-i-l make this dish and this is what he did:

Wipe bhindi with a wet paper towel (did not wash it as it would become slimy). Air dried it completely. Then he cut them into 1" pieces. Again let them dry on a paper towel.

Mixed Bhindi with a little corn starch, chili powder, besan, cumin powder, aamchur, soy sauce and a pinch of ajino motto (you could leave out the msg if you are touchy about it) - I don't mind a little bit as we only us eit once in about 6 months. Note: The mixture was very dry.

Left this aside for about an hour. Then deep fried it.

Tasted yummy.

Enjoy.

Hello Niche,
What D has described shows that her FIL has cooked bhendi the way it should be for crispy fried version.
You should try that out. Sounds Yummy.

Well, in a indo-chinese restaurant in Chicago(Hot wok), they serve Schezwan sauce. Which is similar to what yuo described.
