Prepare Bhindi:
- Trim the ends of the bhindi and slice them into thin rounds. Ensure the bhindi is completely dry to avoid stickiness during cooking.
Sauté Bhindi:
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan. Add sliced bhindi and sauté on medium heat until it’s partially cooked and starts to turn golden brown. Remove the bhindi and set it aside.
Tempering:
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.
Add Spices:
- Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute until the raw aroma disappears. Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Tomato Puree:
- Add the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
Combine Bhindi:
- Add the partially cooked bhindi to the masala and mix gently. Cover and cook on low heat for about 10-15 minutes or until the bhindi is fully cooked.
Finish with Garam Masala:
- Sprinkle garam masala over the bhindi masala. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve the low-oil bhindi masala with roti or rice
