Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons mango powder (amchur)
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 pound large okra
• 1/4 cup corn flour
• vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Combine mango powder, ginger, cumin, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon oil together in a bowl; set aside for flavors to blend for 2 hours.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Trim okra and make a slit lengthwise down the side of each okra, creating a pocket. Fill each pocket with the spice mixture.
4. Place corn flour in a resealable plastic bag; add filled okra and shake to coat.
5. Fry okra in the hot oil until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer fried okra using a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
