Ingredients
- ½ lb okra 250 g

- 1 tbsp rice flour
- 1 tbsp red chili powder
- 2 tsp garam masala
- 2 tbsp chaat masala

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper then set aside.
- Clean the okra and pat dry with paper towel.
- Once the okra has been dried, remove the top stem and then cut each okra into 4 parts vertically. If they are smaller pieces, you may cut only into 2 spears.
- If desired, remove the seeds of the okra.

- Spread the okra onto the prepared baking sheet in an even single layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the okra is browned and crisp. You may turn the okra halfway through the cooking cycle if your oven doesn't heat evenly.
- Serve immediately with additional lemon juice and chaat masala or chile peppers over the top.
Notes
