    1. You, 10 min1/4

      Slit. Dust. Tip in.

      Rice-flour toss, then one layer in the basket.

      +−What goes in, and why

      Wash 250 g bhindi and dry it completely (water is what makes it slimy), then top, tail and slit each pod. In a bowl, toss it with 4 tbsp rice flour, 1 tsp nigella, ½ tsp each of turmeric, Kashmiri mirch and salt, 3 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice. The app walks you through it step by step. Tip it into the basket in one layer so hot air reaches every piece, and push the basket in: while it's out, the dial says "Insert tray".

    2. You, 10 sec2/4

      Send it. Tap start.

      Turn for more crunch. Tap start.

      Your phone sends the recipe to the upliance cloud, and the cloud sends it to the air fryer's dial.phone→cloud→dial

      +−What actually travels

      Tap "Open on upliance" in the app. The recipe goes from your phone to the upliance cloud and on to the air fryer over the internet, not Bluetooth, so your phone doesn't need to be next to it. You never type a number. The dial wakes up with the dish's name, a texture the app has already picked and a Start button: turn the dial to make it juicier or crunchier, then tap Start on the air fryer itself. Nothing cooks until you do. From then on the dial and the app show the same countdown for the whole cook, with pause and stop in the app.

      Crisps, then crunches.

      The dial beeps. Not your phone.

      +−The shake, and the rest

      Six minutes of fast hot air sets the rice-flour coat, so the bhindi crisps instead of going slimy; the dial and the app show the same countdown. Then the dial beeps and shows SHAKE. Your phone stays quiet, so stay within earshot. Pull the basket out, give it a good shake so every piece turns, and push it back in: pulling the basket pauses the cook, and it carries on by itself once the basket is back. The last ten minutes are for the crunch, and they're yours.

      Beep. Done. Love it?

      Serve it crackling.

      +−After the beep

      The dial plays its done beep and starts cooling down; your phone comes back with one question. Tip the bhindi onto a plate and eat straight away: it's crispest in the first few minutes. Great with dal-chawal or rolled into a hot roti. If it's not quite right, pick Fix My Dish on the dial and the app takes it from there.

    Your 28 minutes, split

    About 28 min in all. You: about 12 min (slit, dust, tip in, send, shake, serve). upliance: about 16 min (crisps, crunches). 10 of those minutes are free.
