Wash the green beans thoroughly, ensuring to remove any dirt.

Dry the green beans using a clean cloth or paper towels to ensure they are not wet before coating.

Prepare the first batter by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of manioc flour and 6 tablespoons of baking powder, adding salt and paprika to taste.

Gradually add water to the flour mixture until it reaches a liquid but not too runny consistency.

For the second batter, repeat the process with equal amounts of all-purpose flour and manioc flour, ensuring to season with salt.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Coat each green bean in the first batter, ensuring to remove excess batter for a perfect layer.

Dip the coated green beans into the second batter for an additional coating.

Fry the coated green beans in batches until golden brown and crispy, then remove and let drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with a yogurt dip mixed with lemon juice.
