Ingredients

  • cup Canola oil, for frying 1 pound okra, stemmed and julienned lengthwise 1/2 of a small red onion, thinly sliced 2 small or 1 medium tomatoes, cored, seeded and julienned 1/4 chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish Juice of 1/2 a lemon, or more to taste 1

Cooking Instructions

Heat at least 2 inches oil to 350F (you can check this with a deep-fry or instant-read thermometer) in a countertop deep fryer or in a pan on the stove.

Fry the julienned okra in batches small enough not to crowd your pan or fryer and make sure to let the oil return to temperature between batches. Fry it until crisp, about 5 to 7 minutes _ the seeds will swell and it will be deeply colored at the edges _ then transfer to drain on paper towels.

Toss the okra together with the onion, tomato and cilantro, squeeze the lemon juice over all, and season to taste with salt and chaat masala.

You call this fried okra? I'm from the South, and we slice it and roll in corn meal and then fry, yum.
