Take a frying pan and put some oil into it. Temper it with mustard seeds, cumin seeds and asafoetida and put all the bhindis into it. Add 1 teaspoon of red chilly powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and salt so that the spices are on the outer side of the bhindis also.  Stir it and sprinkle some besan on the top also.
