How to make bhindi masala

Now take a pan, add two tablespoons of oil to it, and heat it on a medium flame. Then add the chopped bhindi to the heated oil and cook them until they are soft.
After this, take out the fried bhindi onto a plate and keep it aside. Now add some oil to the pan, then let it heat. Once the oil is hot add the cumin seeds and fry them until they crackle. Now, add ginger-garlic paste and sliced onions and cook them until the onion is light yellow then add the chopped tomatoes and continue to saute. Add turmeric, red chilli powder and coriander powder once the tomatoes have softened, and simmer for some more time.
Now, add dried mango powder, chaat masala, garam masala and kasoori methi to the mixture and give it a good stir. Add salt as per taste and after this add the fried bhindi (okra) to it. Coat the bhindi well with the masala by giving it a good mix. After this, cover the pan and cook the bhindi on low flame for 10 more minutes. Keep stirring the bhindi in between. Once the masala bhindi is completely cooked, turn off the gas. Serve it with roti, naan, or paratha.
