Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 oz okra
- ¼ cup besan chickpea flour
- 1 Tbsp rice flour
- ½ tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- ½ tsp salt or to taste
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp red chili powder
Instructions
- Cut okra into thin strips, either half or quarter the okra.
- Sprinkle okra with lemon juice and salt, and spray with oil. Mix well.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl. Mix well so the okra is well covered. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the batter to moisten.
- Transfer the okra to the air fryer. Do not over-crowd the okra. Spray with oil. Cook at 360°F for 9-12 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Notes
To deep fry: use hot oil, 375°F, just like pakora, until golden and crisp. Since they are thin, they cook very fast. Take care not to burn.
