Ingredients: 8 oz fresh okra, stems trimmed; vegetable oil for frying (about 1 quart); ¾ cup gram flour (besan); ¼ cup rice flour; ½ tsp cumin seeds; ½ tsp fennel seeds; ¼ tsp Kashmiri chili powder; ¼ tsp turmeric; ½ tsp sea salt; pinch of hing (asafetida), optional; ⅓ cup cold water; 1 cup plain yogurt, preferably Greek; 3 tbsp unsweetened coconut milk powder or desiccated coconut, rehydrated lightly; 2 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped; ½ garlic clove, minced very fine; ½ tsp fine sea salt; 3 tbsp pomegranate molasses; 1 tbsp water; ½ tsp honey or jaggery

Paper-thin okra rounds battered in a spiced gram flour crust and fried until shatteringly crisp, served alongside a cool mint and coconut yogurt that cools the palate, with a glossy pomegranate molasses reduction that adds tart-sweet complexity. A unique South Indian–inspired first course that shows real technique without pretension.
