Procedure:-



1. Mix everything in a bowl except chaat masala. Let it sit for 30 minutes to marinade.(The salt makes the okra release water, which makes the besan/chickpea flour stick to them, and it will get nicely marinated,If it looks still dry add a teaspoon of water at a time,just enough to make the besan stick to the okra.)



2. Heat oil in a pan over moderate flame till smoking.



3. Fry the okra ensuring they do not stick to each other, till crisp and brown.



6. Remove and drain excess oil on paper towels.
