Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Okra Fry
- For extra crispy okra, pat the slices dry with a paper towel before frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness.
- For a smoky flavor, consider adding a pinch of asafoetida (hing) along with the spices.
