Steps

1

Wash and pat the bhindi completely dry, then cut into rounds. You can also slit them lengthwise. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and sauté the okra for about 5 minutes. Remove and keep aside.
2

In the same pan, heat 2 tbsp oil. Add the mustard seeds, cumin and hing mix. Add the chopped onion and sauté. Add the grated tomato and ginger-chilli-garlic paste. Then add 2 tbsp yogurt, mix well, cover and cook until the tomatoes soften.
3

Add salt, chilli powder, turmeric, coriander-cumin powder, fresh coriander and garam masala. Mix well. Add the sautéed bhindi, remaining yogurt and water. Mix gently, cover and cook on low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4

Once the bhindi is cooked nicely, transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.

Tips

1) Pat the bhindi completely dry before cutting to help reduce sliminess.
2) Keep the heat low after adding yogurt so it blends smoothly without splitting.
3) Stir gently while cooking to keep the bhindi pieces intact.
