OKRA COCONUT CURRY
Ok I am well aware that many of you don't like the taste or texture of cooked okra, "its too slimy, yuk," my son always says but I guess if you are reading this you are not one of them or at least willing to try. Okra is a great source of fibre and has recently been shown to lower sugar absorption in the blood helping to regulate insulin and sugar levels. Not had hey from a slimy vegetable, for more information on this click here.
Give this recipe a go and I promise, you won't be disappointed. I will even explain how to make the okra less slimy.
Ingredients
8 tbsp sunflower oil
3 tbsp coconut oil
vegetable oil
juice 1 lime
700 g okra, tops removed
400 g cauliflower florets
6 fresh tomatoes, chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced
4 tsp ground cumin
3 tsp ground coriander
3 tsp turmeric
½tsp chilli powder
330ml light coconut milk
salt
pepper
chopped corriander
Method
Wash and dry okra immediately, contact with water is what makes it so slimy so keep it dry. Adding lime after the cooking process also reduces sliminess. Cut off tops.
In a large pan heat the vegetable oil added with the coconut oil and sweat the onions, garlic and grated ginger. Mix in the all ground spices once your onions have turned translucent
Pour in chopped tomatoes
Add coconut milk and simmer for 20-30 min string occasionally.
Add salt and pepper.
Pour ocra and cauliflower into the mix and simmer for a further 30min finally adding lime juice.
Garnish with chopped fresh coriander
