Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh okra (bhindi), washed and dried
• 3 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1.5 teaspoons coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 medium onions, finely sliced
• 2 green chilies, slit
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the okra thoroughly. Dry them well using a kitchen towel to prevent sliminess during cooking.

Step 2

Slice off the head and tail of each okra pod and cut them into 1-inch pieces.

Step 3

Heat ghee or coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the green chilies and cook for another minute.

Step 7

Add the cut okra into the pan and mix everything well. Stir-fry for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra starts to soften.

Step 8

Sprinkle coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt over the okra. Mix well to coat the okra evenly with the spices.

Step 9

Continue to cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the okra is cooked through and tender, about another 10 minutes. Ensure the okra does not become mushy.

Step 10

Once done, turn off the heat and add lemon juice. Give a final stir to combine.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with a keto-friendly naan or as a side dish to any keto main course.
