1 tbsprice flour
1 tbspred chili powder

½-1tspsaltto taste
1tbspOlive oil

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.
In a large bowl, add the sliced okra, chickpea flour, rice flour, chili powder, garam masal, chaat masala, and salt.
Drizzle the oil and lemon juice over the top, and toss to combine until the okra is coated nicely with the seasoning mixture.
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
Serve with fresh cilantro, lemon juice, and additional chaat masala on top.
