Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the okra thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel and slice them into 1-inch pieces, discarding the tips and ends.
Step 2
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until they release their aroma.
Step 4
Add the sliced okra to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Stir well to coat the okra pieces evenly with the spices.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and allow the okra to cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The okra should be tender but not mushy.
Step 7
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on medium heat to evaporate any residual moisture and make the okra slightly crispy.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or alongside your favorite Whole30-compliant main course.
