Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh okra
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Wash and dry the okra thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Dice the red bell pepper into bite-sized chunks, peel and thinly slice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, ground turmeric, ground cumin, and red chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to high and add the chopped okra. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, allowing the okra to develop a slight char.
Add the red bell pepper and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour in the coconut aminos and sprinkle with salt. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly and cook for 1 more minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the dish with fresh lime juice.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
