Crispy Okra With Chaat Masala
- 250 grams gram flour
- 50 grams rice flour or corn flour (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon red chile powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dry-roasted cumin
- 50 grams okra, washed and dried completely before quartering lengthwise
- 250 milliliters vegetable oil, to fry
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala (a spice blend available at Asian shops)
- 1/2 lemon
- Mix the first six ingredients (five if you are not using corn or rice flour) together and add about 50 milliliters of water to make a batter that resembles pancake batter in its consistency.
- Dip the quartered okra into the batter and toss until coated. In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil and, without overcrowding, add the okra piece by piece into the oil. Avoid dropping it in bunches-otherwise, they will all stick together!
- When light golden brown, use a slotted spoon to transfer the okra to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve hot with a sprinkling of chaat masala and a gentle squeeze of lemon juice.
