Charishma's Very Tasty Bhindi Masala

Step 1

Heat oil in a wok.

Step 2

Once hot, toss in the cumin and mustard seeds. Allow to splutter.

Step 3

Once it stops spluttering, add green chilli and onions. Stir-fry on medium heat until browned. Remove from heat and keep aside in a plate.

Step 4

Pour 1/4 cup of oil in the same wok.

Step 5

Add the chopped okra and stir-fry for a few minutes until cooked and aromatic. This way, the okra will not split while cooking and the dish turns out very tasty.

Step 6

Remove the okra from heat, once fried and lightly browned.

Step 7

Add the sauteed onion mixture back to the wok and toss in the fried okra. Mix well to combine and allow to cook for a minute on medium heat.

Step 8

Now, add all the masala {spice} powders and mix well.

Step 9

Allow to cook for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Add the chopped tomatoes, mix well and cover the wok. Allow the flavours to blend well and the tomatoes to cook until softened. This takes about 7 minutes.

Step 11

Uncover, add salt and mix well.

Step 12

Allow to cook for 2 minutes on medium heat.

Step 13

Remove from flame and serve hot with rotis.

Step 14

Enjoy!
