Wash and thoroughly dry the okra with a kitchen towel. Trim the ends and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size.
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them with oil and cumin seeds. Cover the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften.
Once the potatoes are partially cooked, add the chopped okra, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix everything well to coat the vegetables with spices.
Cook the mixture uncovered for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked, with golden brown edges.
Turn off the heat and drizzle lemon juice over the cooked aloo bhindi. Toss gently to combine.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately while warm, either as a side dish or with a main meal.
