Ingredients
  

  • 250 gms Fresh Bhindi/Okra washed, dried and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp Chickpea Flour/Gram Flour(Besan)
  • 1 tbsp Rice Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Amchur Powder (Dried Mango Powder)
  • 1/2 tsp Chaat Masala
  • 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Salt or as needed
  • 1 tbsp Oil

Instructions
 

  • Wash and pat dry okra/bhindi with a dry kitchen towel. Ensure there is no moisture left in the okras.
  • Trim the ends of the okra and slice them vertically into thin strips.
  • Combine chickpea flour, rice flour, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, ground coriander, amchur, chaat masala, garam masala, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.
  • Add the sliced okra to the bowl and drizzle with oil. Toss gently to coat the okra evenly with the spice mixture.
  • Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil.
  • Place the coated okra slices in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Air fry for 12 minutes at 180°C (360°F), shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time until the bhindi is crispy and golden brown.
  • Once done, remove the bhindi from the air fryer and let it cool slightly.
  • Sprinkle with additional chaat masala and serve hot plain or with green chutney and tomato ketchup.
