Is it permissible to perform Istikhara by only reciting the supplication without the two rak'ahs of prayer, in circumstances such as being in the street?

Istikhara is a supplication to Allah Almighty for choosing what is good. The two rak'ahs of prayer were prescribed before the supplication to make it more likely to be answered. If prayer is not possible, there is no harm in limiting it to the supplication only.
