Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 250 grams Plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Chaat masala
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the okra using a kitchen towel. Slice each okra lengthwise into thin strips.
In a large bowl, mix cornstarch, chickpea flour, turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt.
Add the sliced okra to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the dry mixture.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-frying pan over medium-high heat. Test the heat by dropping a small piece of okra into the oil – it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the coated okra in small batches for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Place the crispy okra on a serving plate and drizzle the creamy yogurt mixture over the top.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and a pinch of chaat masala as a garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
