Heat 1½ tbsp oil in a pan and stir in the bhindis, cooking for around 5 to 7 minutes until they are partially cooked. Take care that the bhindis should not be sticky. Set aside the bhindis in a plate.
Add 2 tbsp oil in a pan and introduce cumin. When they begin to splutter, add onions and green chilies in the
Add green garlic paste and stir for 2-3 minutes. At this point add the tomatoes and salt. Sauté until the tomatoes turn soft and then add garam masala, red chili powder, and turmeric. Mix everything very well and stir.
Pour water into the pan, add the fenugreek leaves, and the fried bhindis. Mix them well, cover and cook on low to medium heat.
When the bhindis turn slightly tender, open the lid, and allow the extra moisture to evaporate.
