Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups fresh okra, ends trimmed
  • 5 tablespoons chickpea flour (besan)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon red chile powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 pinch asafoetida powder
  • 1 pinch carom seeds
  • salt to taste
  • oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon chaat masala, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Cut each okra pod vertically into 4 long pieces. Place in a bowl with chickpea flour, ginger paste, lemon juice, chile powder, turmeric, asafetida, carom seeds, and salt; toss to coat.

Step 2
Heat 2 inches oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Lower okra carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining okra.
