Discover the perfect blend of crispiness and freshness with this delectable okra salad. Indulge in a symphony of flavors and textures!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 teaspoons garam masala
• 1/4 teaspoon amchur powder (optional, see Note)
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 450g young okra — halved lengthwise and cut into long, thin strips
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
• 1 medium tomato — cored, seeded and sliced into thin strips
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Combine the garam masala and amchur powder in a small bowl.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet until it reaches 350°. Fry the okra strips in batches, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden and crispy, which should take about 4 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to move the fried okra to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle some of the spice mixture and salt over the okra.
3. In a large bowl, gently mix the fried okra with red onion, tomato, cilantro, and lemon juice. Season the salad with more of the spice mixture and salt according to taste, then serve immediately.
