    A sub-continent classic, bhindi masala was a household favorite
    growing up. Okra has a cult following, and this recipe is a very
    popular way to prepare it in Pakistan.

    Heat oil. Fry okra on medium heat until it stops being sticky, about
    10 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove okra with a slotted spoon and
    drain on paper towel.

    Reheat oil and add onion. Fry on medium-low heat until translucent and
    soft, about 7 minutes.

    Add ginger and garlic paste, and fry 30 to 60 seconds.

    Add ground spices (red chili, turmeric, and cumin powder), and fry 30
    to 60 seconds until aromatic. Add a splash of water to deglaze the
    pan if needed.

    Add tomatoes and fry on high heat for about 5 minutes until they
    begin to soften and break down. Add salt.

    Once the masala is ready, add fried okra and stir gently on
    medium-low heat until well-mixed, about 2 to 3 minutes.

    Place in serving dish and dust with garam masala powder.
