Ingredients
10 nos

Okra

¼ tsp

Asafoetida

¼ tsp

Turmeric powder

½ tsp

Red chili powder

1 tsp

Coriander powder

¼ tsp

Salt(exact)

1 tsp

Oil

Instructions


First rule, okra should be dry... so if you wash make sure you dry them on a paper towel completely and then proceed. I usually pick good okra and just clean them with a paper towel. Trim off the top and bottom portion and cut them into slender long pieces as shown.


Combine all the above ingredients in a bowl (turmeric, asafoetida, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt and oil), add the okra pieces and just toss to coat. Spread them over a microwave safe plate(I used Corelle, you can also use a paper plate or paper towel) and microwave for 5 + 1 minutes (this is for 1000 watts). Timings might vary depending on the plate, model, power and capacity. So its always safe to proceed in this order, for 10 okras its 3minutes + 2 minutes + 1 minute. Do not over crowd and always do in batches if making a large portion.  Once done, they might look little loose and after cooling completely they will be very crispy and stay that way for couple days or longer if stored in air-tight box.

Mullai can you tell how

Mullai can you tell how much time it will take for 100 watts

Umav, i have no clue, would

Umav, i have no clue, would suggest you to take 3 minutes at a time and check. As I've mentioned a lot of things matter if you use a microwave. Only few trials will answer your question. Even I tried a couple of times in my microwave to be this specific. If you succeed, pls post the time so that members with same power oven can benefit. Thanks.
