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.
