Description
Crispy, golden okra snacks with a fragrant Indian spice blend, made effortlessly in the air fryer. Light, oil-free, and packed with flavor, these guilt-free bites are perfect for snacks or appetizers.
Ingredients
12–14 medium okra (stems removed)
1 cup all-purpose flour (besan)
1/2 cup rice flour
1/4 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ajwain seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil (for air fryer brushing)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Trim and wash okra, dry thoroughly. Cut into 1/2-inch slices.
Mix besan, rice flour, Kashmiri chili, turmeric, garam masala, ajwain, and salt in a bowl.
Coat okra slices in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Lightly brush both sides of the okra with oil.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.
Sprinkle with lemon juice (if using) and serve warm.
Notes
Dry okra slices completely to avoid steaming. Use a metal air fryer basket for even crisping. Store in a paper-lined airtight container to retain crispness. Add panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch or serve with mint-coriander chutney.
