Start by washing and patting dry the bhindi (okra). Cut the bhindi into 1-2 inch pieces and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds or mustard seeds. Once the seeds start spluttering, add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Add the chopped bhindi to the pan and stir gently. Cook the bhindi on medium heat.
Once the bhindi is partially cooked, add your dry spices: turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt to taste.
Let the bhindi cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the pan.
Once the bhindi is cooked, add garam masala and stir well.
Garnish the masala bhindi with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with roti or rice.
