Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh okra (bhindi)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Ensure the okra is completely dry to reduce sliminess during cooking.
Cut the okra into 1/2 inch rounds and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.
Add the sliced okra to the pan and gently stir to coat the okra with the oil and cumin seeds.
Cook the okra on medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes, until it begins to turn light brown and crisp.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the okra. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the okra is tender and fully cooked while remaining slightly crispy.
Turn off the heat and drizzle lemon juice over the cooked okra. Give it a final stir.
Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of low-carb meal options.
