Instructions
Prepare the Okra
- Wash and thoroughly dry 500g of okra. Cut each okra lengthwise into 4 pieces.
Make the Spice Coating
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tbsp gram flour (besan), 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp chaat masala, 1 tsp red chili powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1 tsp dry mango powder (amchur powder), and salt to taste. Mix well.
Coat and Marinate the Okra
- Add the dry spice mixture to the okra pieces. Mix gently but thoroughly to coat each piece evenly. Pour in 2 tbsp mustard oil and use your hands to ensure the okra is well coated with the oil and spice mixture. Add 1 tbsp lemon juice. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Air Fry the Okra
- Preheat your air fryer to 160°C (320°F). Place half of the marinated okra in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer. Air fry for 10 minutes.
Crisp and Serve

Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Kurkuri Bhindi
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: Work in batches to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Adjust spice levels: Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.
- Pat the okra dry: Excess moisture will prevent the okra from getting crispy. Make sure to pat them dry thoroughly after washing.
- Serve immediately: Kurkuri Bhindi is best enjoyed fresh and hot, as it loses its crispiness as it cools.
