Ingredients
- 500 grams Okra (Bhindi)
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.75 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Ensure it is completely dry, as excess moisture can make the okra slimy when cooked.
Step 2
Cut the okra into 1/2-inch pieces, discarding the tops.
Step 3
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to crackle for a few seconds.
Step 4
Add the sliced onion and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well and cook for 1 minute to blend the spices.
Step 7
Add the okra pieces and sauté for about 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook the okra for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom. Cook until the okra is tender but still has a slight bite.
Step 9
Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high, and sauté for another 3-4 minutes to slightly crisp up the okra.
Step 10
Season with salt and lemon juice. Mix well and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 11
Serve the Keto Bhindi Sabji hot as a side dish or with a keto-friendly bread alternative.
