1 pound okra, stemmed and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 medium or 2 small tomatoes, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chaat masala
Instructions
1. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot to 350 F. Add a third of the okra and fry until browned and crisp, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining okra, making sure the oil temperature comes back to 350 F before frying additional batches.
2. In a large bowl, toss the okra with the onion, tomato, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and chaat masala. Taste for seasoning and serve immediately.
