• 0.25 teaspoon Garam Masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash and pat dry the bhindi (okra) thoroughly to remove any moisture. Trim the ends and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes of about 1-inch size. Keep them in water to prevent discoloration.

Step 3

Finely slice the onion and chop the tomato. Slit the green chili lengthwise.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add the green chili for a minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add sliced onions to the pan. Sauté until they become golden brown.

Step 7

Drain and add the potato cubes to the pan. Stir well to coat the potatoes with spices.

Step 8

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt to the potatoes. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Add chopped tomatoes to the mixture and cook until they become soft.

Step 10

Add the bhindi (okra) pieces to the pan and mix gently, ensuring not to break them.

Step 11

Lower the heat and cover the pan. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bhindi is cooked and tender.

Step 12
