Ingredients

• 500 grams Okra
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, grated Ginger
• 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 1 tablespoon Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 200 milliliters Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the okra thoroughly, pat dry with a kitchen towel, and cut off the tops and tails. Slice the okra into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili to the pan. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomato to the pan and cook until it softens and breaks down, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric powder. Cook for 2 more minutes to release the spices' aromas.

Step 6

Add the sliced okra to the pan, stirring well to coat it with the spices. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the okra to slightly brown and soften.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk and add salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Cover the pan and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 9

Remove from heat, stir in the chopped cilantro and lemon juice.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your choice of low-carb sides such as cauliflower rice or a salad.
