Directions
Slic each okra pod lengthwise into four thin pieces. Toss them in a bowl with chickpea flour, ginger paste, lemon juice, chili powder, turmeric, asafetida, carom seeds, and a pinch of salt until everything is well coated. Heat about two inches of oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully drop the okra into the hot oil in small batches, frying them until they turn golden and crispy—this should take around five minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried okra to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Once all the okra is fried, sprinkle some chaat masala on top before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
Serving Options To Try
Serve alongside rice or flatbreads for a satisfying meal. It also pairs well with cooling yogurt or raita to balance the spices. Enjoy it as a crunchy appetizer with a squeeze of lemon.
Food Storage Guide
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in a dry pan to help maintain the crisp texture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the okra soggy.
