Wash and dry the fresh okra with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the ends and slice them into small pieces.
In a medium frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Once hot, add coriander seeds, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and whole dried red chilies.
Sauté the spices for 1-2 minutes until they begin to crackle and release their aroma.
Add the remaining coconut oil and the chopped okra to the pan. Stir well to coat the okra with the oil and spices.
Cook the okra for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's lightly browned and tender.
Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves and ginger. Finely chop them, then add to the pan with the okra. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked okra and spices to a food processor. Add lemon juice, salt, fresh cilantro, and water.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches a chunky chutney consistency. Adjust the salt and lemon juice to taste.
Serve the Paleo Bhindi Chutney chilled or at room temperature, as a side dish or condiment.
