Airfry Okra Fries
If you’ve never tried okra this way, you’re in for a surprise. These air-fried okra fries come out unbelievably crisp on the outside while staying tender inside, no sliminess in sight. They make a great snack or side, especially when served hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 250g okra
- 4 green chilies
- 5–6 garlic cloves
- 5 cm piece of ginger
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 2 tbsp gram flour (chickpea flour)
- 2 tbsp self-raising flour
- 1 tsp chaat masala
- 1 lemon
Step 1
Blitz the ginger, garlic, and green chilies into a paste, or crush them together with a pestle and mortar.
Step 2
Mix the paste with the dried spices, salt, gram flour, and self-raising flour.
Step 3
Cut the okra lengthwise into quarters to make thin strips. Coat them in the flour mixture and let them rest for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Air-fry the okra in batches at high heat for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Step 5
Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon and chaat masala
