Ingredients: 8 oz fresh okra, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick strips; 1/2 cup chickpea flour (besan); 2 tablespoons rice flour; 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; 1/4 teaspoon turmeric; 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt; 1/4 cup cold water; Vegetable oil for shallow frying (about 1 cup); 2 tablespoons tamarind concentrate; 1 tablespoon jaggery (or brown sugar); 1 Thai red chili, minced (seeds optional); 2 tablespoons water (for glaze)

Thin-cut okra, dredged in a spiced chickpea flour batter and shallow-fried until the exterior is golden and the interior remains tender. Topped with a glossy tamarind-chili reduction that is both sour and punchy—an appetizer that surprises with technique and flavor balance.
