Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh okra
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large tomato
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the okra thoroughly under running water. Pat it dry completely using a kitchen towel. Slice off the tops and tails of each okra, then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Finely chop the onion, tomato, and cilantro. Grate the ginger and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until they release their aroma.
Step 4
Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until they turn translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
Step 6
Introduce the chopped tomatoes into the mixture and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until they are soft and mushy.
Step 7
Add sliced okra to the skillet, stirring to mix well with the onion and tomato base.
Step 8
Sprinkle turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and coriander powder over the okra. Mix until the spices coat the okra evenly.
Step 9
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the okra cook for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, cooking until the okra is tender.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the lid and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any excess moisture if needed.
Step 11
Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Step 12
Serve hot with a side of your choice to enjoy this flavorful Whole30 Bhindi Sabzi.
