Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh okra
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
• 400 milliliters coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 lime
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes

Directions

Step 1

Wash the okra thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Slice the okra into 1-inch pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion; mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the onions, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute to release the aromatic oils from the spices.

Step 6

Add the sliced okra to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes until it begins to soften.

Step 7

Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and coconut milk, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Season the curry with sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Cover the pan and let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the okra is tender and the sauce thickens.

Step 10

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add to the curry, stirring well to incorporate.

Step 11

Squeeze the juice of the lime over the curry just before serving to enhance the flavors.

Step 12

Serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. This curry pairs wonderfully with cauliflower rice or simply enjoyed on its own.
