Gluten Free Masala Okra Recipe

I love okra prepared in this spicy tomato sauce, and find none of the typical “slimy” texture people often mention with this vegetable. If you’re not a fan of okra, you can substitute some or all with green beans – it’s equally delicious.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ▢ ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
• ▢ ½ teaspoon black mustard seeds
• ▢ 1 small onion finely chopped
• ▢ 2 garlic cloves minced
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
• ▢ 1 teaspoon mild chili powder
• ▢ 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• ▢ 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
• ▢ 1 teaspoon coconut sugar or xylitol or 6 drops pure plain liquid stevia
• ▢ 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• ▢ 2 large tomatoes diced
• ▢ 1 pound okra green beans, or a combination (washed and trimmed but not cut)
• ▢ ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Instructions

• ▢
  In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until the seeds begin to pop. Lower the heat to medium.
• ▢
  Add the onion and garlic and continue to cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the cilantro. Stir well so the okra is well-coated in the sauce. Lower heat to simmer, cover, and cook until the okra is just tender, about 10-15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
