Preparation

Step 1
In a heavy pot, heat 2 inches oil to 350 degrees. Place a thick layer of paper towels nearby. Working in batches to avoid crowding pan, fry okra until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes. Seeds will swell and okra will be deeply colored at edges. Drain on paper towels.
Step 2
In a serving bowl, toss okra together with onion, tomatoes and cilantro. Squeeze lemon juice over all, and mix in salt and chaat masala. Taste and add more lemon, salt and masala as needed.

Get a photo on this recipe so more people discover it! I made about a quarter of the recipe to share between two people and we both loved it. So glad to have discovered Chaat Masala through this recipe. I've used it on potatoes and popcorn as well.
