πŸ›’ Ingredients

  • βœ“ 300g fresh okra, trimmed and halved lengthwise
  • βœ“ 2 tsp neutral oil spray (for air-fryer)
  • βœ“ 1 tsp chaat masala
  • βœ“ 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • βœ“ 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • βœ“ 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • βœ“ Salt to taste
  • βœ“ 3 tbsp tamarind concentrate
  • βœ“ 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • βœ“ 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • βœ“ 1 tbsp roasted peanuts, crushed
  • βœ“ 100g roasted chickpeas (canned, drained)
  • βœ“ 50g boiled potato, diced small
  • βœ“ 1 small red onion, minced
  • βœ“ 1 green chili, minced (optional)

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions

1. Prep the Okra: Rinse okra thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels. Trim the stem end and slice each pod lengthwise into two halves. Moisture is the enemy of crispness; ensure they are bone-dry before cooking.
2. Season the Okra: In a large bowl, toss okra halves with chaat masala, turmeric, cayenne, cumin, and salt. Use your fingers to coat evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes so spices adhere.
3. Air-Fry the Okra: Preheat air-fryer to 400Β°F (200Β°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray okra pieces on all sides with neutral oil. Arrange in a single layer in the basket (work in two batches if needed). Air-fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking the basket every 4 minutes, until edges are golden and okra is tender inside. Okra should be crispy and lightly charred.

4. Make the Tamarind-Yogurt Chutney: In a small bowl, whisk together tamarind concentrate and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add 2 tbsp water to reach a pourable but thick consistency. Taste and adjust salt. This chutney replaces heavy coconut-based versions while keeping full tang.
5. Assemble the Base: Divide roasted chickpeas and boiled potato between two serving bowls or plates. Layer a bed of these proteins first; they absorb chutney flavor and add substance.
6. Build the Chaat: Pile warm air-fried okra onto the chickpea-potato base. Drizzle tamarind-yogurt chutney generously over the okra. Scatter minced red onion, cilantro, green chili (if using), and crushed peanuts on top. Serve immediately while okra is still warm and crispy.
