Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, amchur powder, and salt.
Add the sliced bhindi (okra) to the bowl and mix well to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
Drizzle oil over the coated okra and toss gently to ensure even coating.
Spread the coated okra in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the okra halfway through to ensure even crispiness. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Once crispy and golden, remove from the oven. Sprinkle chaat masala on top and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
