Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Okra
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Red onion
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 inch Ginger
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the okra. Trim the ends and slice them into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Chop the tomato into small cubes. Peel and finely grate the ginger. Crush and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the ginger and garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle in the turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir the mixture well to combine the spices with the tomato and onion.
Add the sliced okra to the skillet. Mix everything well, ensuring the okra is well coated with the spicy tomato mixture.
Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let the okra cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any excess moisture. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the okra is dry.
Turn off the heat and stir in freshly chopped cilantro and lemon juice.
Serve the Paleo Bhindi Bhujiya hot as a side dish or a light main course.
