Ingredients:
250g bhindi (okra) (washed, dried, and chopped)
2 tbsp oil (for shallow frying)
1 tsp ajwain (carom seeds)
1 tsp jeera (cumin seeds)
2 medium onions (finely chopped)
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp amchur (dry mango powder)
1.5 tsp dhania (coriander powder)
1 tsp lal mirch (red chili powder)
½ tsp haldi (turmeric powder)
1 tsp garam masala
¾ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for tanginess)

Step-by-Step Method:
1. Prep the Bhindi:
Wash and dry the okra thoroughly to remove stickiness.
Trim the ends and chop into small pieces.

2. Shallow Fry the Bhindi:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and shallow fry the bhindi on medium-high flame for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

3. Prepare the Masala:
In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add ajwain and jeera, and let them splutter.
Add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
Stir in ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2 minutes until raw smell disappears.

4. Combine & Cook:
Add the fried bhindi back to the pan.
Sprinkle amchur, dhania, lal mirch, haldi, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to coat the bhindi evenly.
Cook on medium flame for 3-4 minutes until the spices blend well.
Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice for extra tang (optional).

5. Serve Hot:
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with roti, paratha, or rice!

Tips for Perfect Masala Bhindi:
✔ Dry Bhindi: Ensure okra is completely dry before chopping to avoid stickiness.
✔ High Heat: Fry bhindi on medium-high heat to keep it crispy.
✔ Spice Level: Adjust chili powder and garam masala to taste.

This Masala Bhindi is a game-changer for okra lovers—crispy, spicy, and full of flavor!
