1
Prepare the Okra: Pat the sliced okra completely dry with a clean kitchen towel. This helps it brown properly and keeps the curry from becoming slimy.
2
Toast the Spices: Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cook until they begin to pop, about 30 seconds. Add the curry leaves and stir for 15 seconds.
3
Cook the Okra: Add the okra in an even layer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes, until lightly browned and tender. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, then stir in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
4
Simmer the Curry and Serve: Stir in TASTY BITE®/MD Coconut Curry and coconut milk. Simmer gently for 4–5 minutes, until heated through. Stir in the lime juice, garnish with cilantro, and serve over warm basmati rice.
