(Don't use mustard seeds in this option). Once done, squeeze the lemon and mix well. if required add mango powder, and salt as per taste.

Another option: Wash and clean bhndi. Remove the head and tail. Make sure Bhindi is not too hard. If the size is big, cut into two. Make a slit in each bhindi. Deep fry bhindi. take a pan, add mustard seeds, allow to crackle, add hing and then add bhindi. Add all spices to it. (besan is optional). Squeeze lemon, and add salt. Mix well. Serve crispy and hot with fulka roti.

This version is my daughter's favourite. If u want to keep it green, avoid turmeric. 
Generally, we have observed, that bhindi is kids' favourite vegetable.
It tastes nice with fresh curd too.
