Crispy okra with strained yogurt is a dish of crisp-coated okra served with thick, strained yogurt, often seasoned with garlic and salt. The contrast between the crunchy okra and cool, creamy yogurt is central to the dish.
To make crispy okra with strained yogurt, dry the okra well, coat it with a seasoned crisping mixture, and cook until golden. Spread the yogurt on a serving plate and add the okra just before serving so it does not turn soggy.
Keep the yogurt and crispy okra with strained yogurt separate until serving. Moisture from the yogurt softens the coating, and crowded okra steams instead of crisping, so cook it in a single layer and assemble the dish at the last moment.
Yes, crispy okra with strained yogurt can be made in an air fryer. Arrange the coated okra in a single layer, leaving space for hot air to circulate, and cook until crisp, shaking or turning it partway through.
Yes, frozen okra can work for crispy okra with strained yogurt. Thaw it first, drain away the liquid, and pat it thoroughly dry; excess moisture makes the coating less likely to crisp. The finished texture may be softer than with fresh okra.
Strained yogurt gives crispy okra with strained yogurt a thick, creamy base that is less likely to run across the plate. Regular yogurt can be used, but drain it first or it may release liquid and soften the okra.
You can prepare the yogurt and coat the okra ahead, but cook the okra close to serving time for the best crunch. Keep the prepared components covered and chilled separately, then cook and assemble the dish when you are ready to eat.
Crispy okra with strained yogurt pairs well with grilled chicken or lamb, rice, and fresh salads. Its cool yogurt and crisp coating also make it a useful side for a meal with simply seasoned vegetables or grilled foods.
Crispy okra with strained yogurt is best served with the okra warm and the yogurt cool. Put the okra on the yogurt just before eating; letting it sit on the sauce for too long takes away its crisp texture.
Crispy okra with strained yogurt can be a satisfying side, combining a vegetable with yogurt, but its overall nutrition depends on the coating and cooking method. Baking or air-frying with a modest amount of oil can make it lighter than deep-frying.

Crispy okra with strained yogurt pairs crisped okra with thick, tangy strained yogurt, either spooned underneath or served alongside. The okra’s gently grassy flavour and crunchy coating contrast with the cool, creamy yogurt. It is a Turkish-style dish, often served as a starter or meze.
Serve it soon after cooking so the okra stays crisp, alongside other small plates or as a side with a main meal. Okra contributes fibre, while the yogurt adds protein; the overall richness depends partly on how much oil is used. For a lighter version, crisp the okra in the oven with just a little oil.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
