Ingredients

• 500 grams Okra (Bhindi)
• 200 grams Sweet Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric Powder
• 1 teaspoons Cumin Seeds
• 1 teaspoons Coriander Powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Red Chili Powder
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the okra thoroughly to prevent it from becoming slimy. Cut it into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into small cubes.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, tomato, ginger, and garlic.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown.

Step 6

Add the ginger and garlic, sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped tomato and cook until soft and mushy.

Step 8

Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for another minute.

Step 9

Add the sweet potato cubes, cover the pan, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are just tender.

Step 10

Remove the sweet potatoes from the pan and set them aside.

Step 11

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil, increase the heat to medium-high, and add the okra. Stir-fry the okra for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.

Step 12

Return the sweet potatoes to the pan with the okra. Mix everything together gently and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 13

Adjust seasoning if needed and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
