- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Ensure the okra is completely dry to reduce sliminess during cooking.
Step 2
Cut the okra into 1/2 inch rounds and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.
Step 5
Add the sliced okra to the pan and gently stir to coat the okra with the oil and cumin seeds.
Step 6
Cook the okra on medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes, until it begins to turn light brown and crisp.
Step 7
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the okra. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 8
Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the okra is tender and fully cooked while remaining slightly crispy.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and drizzle lemon juice over the cooked okra. Give it a final stir.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish with your choice of low-carb meal options.
