4. 4 Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, allowing them to splutter.
5. 5 Add the chopped onion and green chili, sauté until the onion turns translucent.
6. 6 Carefully add the stuffed bhendi to the pan, gently stirring to coat them with the onion mixture.
7. 7 Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bhendi is cooked and tender.
8. 8 Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
