1. Cut the ladyfingers into 1.5 inches and then cut each piece lengthwise, keep aside.

2. Take oil in a tawa, add cumin seeds and allow to splutter.
3. Add the ginger and green chillies and stir for a minute.
4. Add the ladyfingers and saute for 1 to 2 minutes on medium flame.
5. Put the turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, and cook for few minutes.

7. Cook until the ladyfingers are soft and cooked.
8. Remove from stove, transfer to serving bowl.
