Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra (bhindi)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium tomato
- 3 small garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry the fresh okra thoroughly. Slice the okra into 1-inch pieces, discarding the ends.
Finely chop the onion, tomato, and garlic cloves. Set them aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
Stir in the garlic and continue to sauté for another minute.
Add the chopped tomato and cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomato softens.
Toss in the sliced okra and mix well to coat with the onion-tomato mixture.
Sprinkle coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the okra. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the okra is tender and cooked through.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing any excess moisture to evaporate and the okra to get a slightly crispy texture.
Squeeze lemon juice over the cooked okra and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
Remove from heat and serve hot as a side dish or pair with cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
