Eat this okra dish with plain boiled rice and your favorite Daal (lentil dish) and you've got a tasty and nutritious meal.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg okra wash, dry, remove top and slit into 4 lengthwise
- 1/2 cup bengal gram flour (besan)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- 4 tsps chaat masala
- Salt to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- Vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil for deep frying
Preparation:
- Heat the cooking oil on a medium flame. Do not heat the oil too much as okra burns quickly when deep fried.
- Put the okra in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle all the other dry ingredients on it. Season with salt just before frying or else the okra will release water and become soggy.
- Deep fry the okra a little at a time, until crisp and drain on paper towels.
- Garnish with the lime juice and serve with plain boiled rice and your favorite Daal.
