Step 1

Start by washing and patting dry the bhindi (okra). Cut the bhindi into 1-2 inch pieces and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the chopped bhindi to the pan and stir gently. Cook the bhindi on medium heat.

Step 4

Once the bhindi is partially cooked, add your dry spices: turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt to taste.

Step 5

Let the bhindi cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the pan.

Step 6

Once the bhindi is cooked, add garam masala and stir well.

Step 7

Garnish the masala bhindi with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with roti or rice.
