Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra thoroughly and pat dry with a towel. Trim both ends and slice each pod into 1 cm rounds.
Step 2
Thinly slice the red onion, mince the garlic, grate the fresh ginger, and dice the tomato into small chunks.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in the okra. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra starts to brown and the sliminess reduces.
Step 7
Add the diced tomato, red chili flakes, ground cumin, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and become saucy.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro leaves over the stir-fry.
Step 9
Drizzle with fresh lime juice just before serving for added brightness and tang.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish or a main course with a Paleo-friendly protein.
