Notes
- Do not add too much water when mixing, just sprinkle a little bit at a time.
- You can add a little garam masala powder or chaat masala powder if you like the taste of it.
- Keep an eye on the okra if air frying for more than 10 minutes, It tends to burn.
- You can still make these if you do not have an air fryer, there are 2 options, deep frying or baking them in the oven.
