Error placing options order

jennings in Python client
A piece of code I use successfully to place NIFTY options order is bombing while trying to place equity option orders. Any ideas?

Payload:
{'tradingsymbol': 'BRITANNIA21MAY3400PE', 'exchange': 'NFO', 'transaction_type': 'BUY', 'order_type': 'MARKET', 'quantity': 200, 'product': 'NRML', 'validity': 'DAY', 'tag': 'stockviz'}

400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://api.kite.trade/orders/regular

    @jennings,
    MARKET order is not allowed for stock options. You need to place LIMIT order at LTP.
    You can always read the exception.message to know the correct reason.
