At first rinse the Oakra very well in water. Cut it into 2 pieces by removing the base and stalk.

Take a pan or kadhai and heat 2 tbsp of oil. Add Oakra into it. Fry till it gets roasted. After Oakra gets roasted, keep it in some container.

Take 1tbsp of oil in the same pan. Grilled properly into two sides of the tomato. Then peel off the tomato. Make a smooth paste of tomato by pressing your hand.

Here I am using grilled tomato because it will give tandoor flavors in bhindi masala.
Take the same hot pan and add 1tbsp oil. Add cumin seeds and curry leaves. Allow it to splutter.

After spluttering add onions and green chilies and. Fry till it turns into translucent. Then mix ginger garlic paste. You can stir-fry this until it disappears the raw aroma.

Add turmeric powder, chili powder, and roasted bhindi into it. Stir-fry this mixture.

Add salt according to the taste. Cover it for 2 minutes in a slow flame.
Then Mix the smashed tomato paste into this and allow it to cook for 2minute in a slow flame by covering the mixture.

Now add Cumin powder, Coriander powder, Garam masala and mix all these ingredients properly. Allow it to 1 minute in a slow flame without covering the lid.
