Ingredients

• 500 grams Okra (bhindi)
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 medium Onion, finely sliced
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it dry with a kitchen towel. Ensure it is completely dry to avoid sliminess while cooking.

Step 2

Trim the ends of each okra and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil, allowing them to crackle for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.

Step 5

Add the finely sliced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they turn golden brown.

Step 6

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook for about 1 minute until the spices are well integrated with the onion.

Step 7

Add the sliced okra to the skillet, ensuring a single layer for even cooking.

Step 8

Sprinkle salt over the okra, turn the heat to medium-low, and stir continuously to mix the spices thoroughly with the okra.

Step 9

Cover the skillet partially, allowing some steam to escape, and cook for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the okra from sticking and ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Once the okra is tender and slightly crispy, remove the lid completely and increase the heat to medium-high to allow excess moisture to evaporate, stirring frequently.

Step 11

Remove from heat when the okra is cooked through and slightly crispy.

Step 12

Drizzle with lime juice and garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.

Step 13

Serve the Keto Bhindi Bhujiya hot as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a low-carb meal.
