Keto Okra Curry Recipe

Time needed: 40 minutes

Make the perfect Keto Okra Curry

1. Prep the Okra

   To begin, gather your fresh Okra and prepare by washing it well and trim off the ends.
   Next, slice the Okra into bite-sized pieces – ready to absorb the curry.

2. Heat the Oil

   In a hot skillet, melt a knob of butter or ghee – or heat a drizzle of oil and optionally, add a medley of fragrant spices such as cumin seeds, mustard seeds and turmeric.
   Sauté for a few minutes, allowing the spices to sizzle and release their aromas.

3. Add Onions

   Next, introduce some finely chopped onions and saute until soft – lending a sweet caramelized flavor to the curry base.
   At this stage, introduce tomato paste, grated ginger and minced garlic – or use a good quality ginger and garlic paste, allowing them to blend with the onions.

4. Add the Okra

   Now it’s time to add the chopped Okra.
   Stir it gently to coat each piece with the curry mixture.
   Let the Okra cook for a few minutes until it becomes tender and slightly crispy.

5. Add more liquid

   To bring the curry together, add half a cup of water – or if you really want to make the dish sing, use half a cup of coconut milk instead.
   (take note of the additional calories and carbs/fat/protien content if using coconut milk)

6. Seasoning

   Add a dash of your preferred keto-friendly curry powder or spice blend, a pinch of salt and pepper.
   Stir well to combine and distribute all the flavors throughout the dish.

7. Simmer

   Allow the curry to simmer gently for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the coconut milk to start to thicken slightly.
