Okra is one of my favourites and is so nutritious. Okra is low in calories and carbs and contains protein and fibre. Okra is an excellent source of vitamin C which contributes to your overall immune function. Okra is a unique vegetable as it provides enough protein which other vegetables lack. Okra is great for lowering cholesterol and gut health.

If you don’t like the yogurt version, I have another recipe without the yogurt here.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp cooking oil (sunflower oil, grape-seed oil, avocado oil)

• 2 medium onions, finely chopped

• 2 Roma tomatoes, finely chopped

• 1 tsp garlic paste

• 1/2 tsp ginger paste

• 1/2 tsp green chilli paste

• 1 1/2 tsp coriander ground

• 1 tsp cumin ground

• 1/2 tsp turmeric ground

• 1 tsp fine sea salt

• 1 1/2 Lb okra ( I used frozen okra)

• 1 1/2 cup plain yogurt (plant based or dairy)

• !/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped (save some for garnish)

Directions:

In a medium size pot, saute onions till translucent. Add tomatoes, garlic ginger, green chilli, spices and salt.

Stir the mixture and cook till tomatoes are cooked through and it looks like a good curry base. Add okra and cook for 3-5 minutes and finally add yogurt and cilantro and cook for another minute.

Garnish with cilantro and serve with roti and rice and pickle of your choice.

Enjoy!
