Wash the okra thoroughly and dry them using a kitchen towel to remove all moisture.
Trim the top and tail ends of each okra and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Finely chop the onion, tomato, and green chili, setting them aside separately.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sautΓ© for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
Stir in the chopped green chili and tomato, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder to the mixture and mix well.
Now add the sliced okra to the pan, stirring well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan, allowing the okra to cook for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the okra is tender and cooked, uncover the pan and increase the heat to medium.
Add salt and garam masala to the cooked okra, stirring everything together. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove the pan from heat and let the sabji rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the Low Carb Bhindi Ki Sabji hot with your choice of low-carb bread or enjoy it as is.
