Step 1
Trim the 1 pound okra and slice into 1/2 inch rounds. Pat dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup chickpea flour, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon salt, and 0.75 cup water until smooth. The batter should be thick enough to coat the okra.
Step 3
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a drop of batter sizzles immediately, about 350°F.
Step 4
Dip the okra rounds into the batter, letting excess drip off, then carefully add to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 5
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with a pinch of salt while hot.
Step 6
Mix 0.5 cup yogurt with a pinch of salt and chopped cilantro. Serve the fritters hot with the yogurt dip.
