Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh okra
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Wash the okra thoroughly and dry them with a clean kitchen towel. Trim the ends and slice the okra into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

Chop the yellow onion into fine pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and sauté until it's translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper into the pan, stirring for about 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 8

Add the sliced okra to the pan, cooking for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes slightly tender.

Step 9

Mix in the halved cherry tomatoes and pour the coconut milk into the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 10

Add salt and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 10 more minutes, or until the okra is fully tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 11

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Paleo Okra Curry hot, with a side of cauliflower rice or as is for a satisfying, healthy meal.
